Ethos offers $20,000 to $2 million in term life insurance. If you buy a guaranteed issue whole life policy, the maximum coverage amount is usually $30,000.

Seniors (66-85) can take advantage of whole life coverage from $1,000 to $30,000 in guaranteed coverage regardless of medical history.

As a consumer you can obtain coverage from Ethos if you live anywhere in the United States except for New York.

Ethos allows consumers to obtain quotes and apply for coverage in as little as 10 minutes. Some applicants may be able to qualify for coverage straight away by answering some health questions without having a medical examination with an accelerated underwriting procedure.

Both term life insurance and guaranteed issue whole life insurance are available through Ethos. While it does not provide quite as much coverage as other providers, Ethos could be an excellent alternative for people who want to obtain life insurance fast without having to go through the hassle of a complicated application procedure.

*Legal & General America (LGA), a large U.S. life insurance company since 1836, issues and guarantees Ethos policies. Ethos uses technology to learn about you so that they can discover novel and genuinely personal ways to insure you.

Thank you for being open and honest about the benefits of the policy. With your help, Nathan Staples, I found out that the previous company was not very honest about what was included with my policy. Mr. Staples was absolutely fantastic about helping me find a policy that will protect my families home in the event of a loss.

Well, I haven't died yet... so, I can't say for sure how faithful they are when it comes to paying my family. But I can speak to their friendly customer service, the ease of access on their website, and their competitive prices. All around, my experience with Ethos has been positive. It has given me peace of mind, and I would highly recommend their services!

My First Experience using Ethos and a Personal Concern ;-)

It was fast and I appreciate that. I wish insurance companies could allow older people to get more insurance based more on their health than their age. I'm 68, but I'm in really great health and would really like at least $100,000.00 in insurance. Is there anyway someone can look further into this concern? Otherwise, everything was great! I appreciate you all and I love the process. I'll be bring clients to Ethos. Thanks again and God bless you! Sincerely, Elayne Bedney ;-)

It is so intimidating usually talking about all of these hard questions when you have to talk to a person. Ethos was so easy to go through and I did everything in 30 minutes. I then helped my wife with hers. We did the wills, trusts and medical directives. So now we can relax knowing that things are handled just in case!

It was just exactly as fast and easy as they advertise. They weren't kidding! "NO Med Exam", for real, which makes a big difference for an old gal. And I really DID get covered instantly - not even 10 minutes later online! Amazing, in this day and age. And cost effective. And then I got a really nice follow up call from a live person. I wish I had known about this company 5 years ago! Fantastic.
