Shopping for life insurance is one of those things that everyone needs to do but nobody wants to. And it makes sense — trying to get a quote can be a pain.
It’s difficult enough that you have to share your personal information over the course of several conversations with strangers, but even worse is how long the application process takes.
Often, days and even weeks will pass before the insurer gives you a straight answer.

“I have peace of mind knowing my girls will be taken care of if anything terrible happens,” says Blake, a Bestow customer. “The best part was no blood draws or doctors. Highly recommend!”
