Should I purchase Life Insurance for My Children?

One of the most frequent questions any insurance provider, including RetireMax Insurance serving Orland Park, IL, gets is who should get a life insurance policy.  Believe it or not, that question very often includes whether or not children should be insured.

Parents are frequently presented with this dilemma and it can be a perplexing question to answer.

So why should parents purchase a life insurance policy for their children? 

One of the biggest advantages to purchasing a life insurance policy for your children is that they almost certainly won’t have to undergo a medical examination like adults have to.

Additionally, children are nearly guaranteed to be insured if a policy is purchased when they are young. Already having a policy means that even if your child should develop a chronic illness or other medical condition, or if they choose to have a dangerous job or hobby, they will already have a life insurance policy.

Another great reason for purchasing a policy for your children when they are still children is the fact that the premiums will be much lower than they will be as your children age. The younger the policyholder is, the lower the premium and the more value it will gain since it will be held for a longer amount of time.

Finally, while odds are very low that a child will pass away, having a life insurance policy for your child means that their funeral expenses would be covered, which could provide invaluable peace of mind to mourning parents if the unthinkable occurred.
