Final Expense Life Insurance: A Compassionate Solution for Seniors
When it comes to life insurance, most people think of term policies. These policies are designed to replace any income lost when a loved one dies, which is especially important for families during the earlier years when we’re working and raising kids. But once we’ve retired and paid off the mortgage, traditional life insurance policies aren’t as necessary. What we do need is a way to pay for any expenses we leave behind when we pass.
As the National Funeral Directors Association reports, the median cost of a funeral can be over $10,000. This cost can place a financial burden on surviving loved ones during a time of intense grief. Nobody wants to think about their spouse or children having to handle funeral expenses on top of their grief.
Enter final expense life insurance. This type of life insurance is designed to cover the costs of a funeral and other end-of-life expenses. It’s popular with seniors because it’s affordable, has smaller benefit amounts, and is easy to qualify for. In many cases, a medical exam isn’t even required to qualify – coverage is usually issued based on answers to health questions.
Qualifying for Final Expense Insurance: What You Need to Know
Final expense insurance is easier to qualify for than other types of life insurance, but there are still important questions to ask. Here are some of the most common questions seniors have about final expense insurance:
- Does the policy expire? Final expense policies don’t expire like term policies because they’re a type of whole life insurance. As long as you pay your premiums, your coverage won’t expire.
- Do I have to take a medical exam? In most cases, no. Coverage is usually issued based on answers to health questions on the application.
- What features are included in the policy? Depending on the life insurance company, your policy may include child riders, accidental death and dismemberment, or support benefits for surviving loved ones. It’s important to carefully review the policy’s benefits.
- How can the death benefit be used? The death benefit from a final expense policy can be used for anything: medical bills, credit card debt, mortgage payments, etc. It’s ultimately up to the beneficiary of the policy how the death benefit is spent.
Final expense life insurance is a compassionate solution for seniors looking to protect their loved ones from rising funeral costs and other end-of-life expenses. With its smaller benefit amounts, affordable premiums, and easy qualification process, it’s an excellent choice for anyone looking to make sure their family is taken care of after they’re gone.
