Documentation & Requirements
Before submitting and processing a case, the following requirements must be met. It’s important to note that funding approval is contingent upon the successful completion of underwriting:
1. Completed Application: A comprehensive application form must be filled out with accurate and detailed information regarding the insured and the policy.
2. Medical Information: Relevant medical records and reports need to be provided to undergo the underwriting process. This includes medical examinations, test results, and any other pertinent medical documentation.

4. Policy Illustrations: Compliant illustrations of the proposed policy, demonstrating the premiums, benefits, and other policy details, should be included.
5. Collateral Evaluation: An assessment of the proposed collateral, typically cash value or other assets, will be conducted to determine its suitability and value for securing the loan.
6. Underwriting Evaluation: Underwriters will assess the insurability of the insured and evaluate the risk associated with the policy and loan arrangement.
7. Underwriting Approval: Funding approval is contingent upon the successful completion of the underwriting process. This involves a comprehensive review and assessment of all submitted documentation.
Once the underwriting process is successfully completed and funding approval is granted, the case can proceed to the next stage for finalizing the loan and policy placement.
