He was also upset since he let another life ins policy lapse and the thought of replacing it now would mean that he'd have to cough up more in the way of premiums.
My point is this: get the policy while you ARE young AND healthy. Sometimes the "smart thing to do" can actually cost you more in the end.

I would assuem the policies were part of a buy sell agreement and if it was entity buy sell it is a tax write off anyways.
Also if he let the old policy lapse while the new one was in underwriting the agent did him a diservice but not advising against and possibily has liability if he instructed to cancel the other policy before approval on the new policy. That is Insurance 101 but not something you see the lesser agents in the biz do.
