This insurance is designed to payout funds to a designated beneficiary or estate after ones passing. Funds to pay funeral expenses, pay off debts or a home, prepare financially for a child's education, alleviate a family from struggling from a loss of a secondary or primary income, or simply as a way to donate funds to an organization of ones choice. Life Insurance of any kind provides a tax-free death benefit to the beneficiary and completely by-passes probate.
Anyone can purchase life insurance and policies are sold to individuals of all ages, even newborns. The simple reason for newborn or young children to have life insurance is simply this - �ensuring one�s insurability�. The moment any person develops a medical condition, this type of coverage becomes very difficult to purchase. Some companies will sell �graded� policies to someone with a medical condition, but there are stipulations on the payout period and the amount of benefit is lower. Generally graded policies are more costly as well. The younger one is when purchasing a plan, the less expensive it is. There are also policies that may be purchased on someone other than yourself, however, you must have a key or vested interest in the individual and prove that a loss will be sustained in your life or employment due to the individuals passing.
