Ted,
Shopping for life insurance quotes for adult children isn’t any different
than it is for adults or seniors. Underwriting issues can vary a little but essentially life insurance quotes for adult children follows the same
routine.
Where we do see a difference is in qualifying. Some companies don’t allow you to buy more than (2) times what the adult parent has, other companies may use other multiples. Underwriting also considers the premium paying capabilities of the person being insured and etc.
A certain amount of caution exists when companies receive applications for children. A simple explanation on the back of the application will normally set everyone at ease. Being a advocate of carrying insurance myself I bought a life policy on my 12 year old son simple to get him started at an early age and lock in his rates forever. It also started a modest savings plans built into the policy.
Since the widespread growth of internet usage and database building it’s
never been easier or quicker to find fast life insurance. There was a time not long ago that the project could drag out forever. The process began with phone colds and lots of dialog between you and agents about various policies, options and underwriting requirements. Today fast life insurance is possible. You simply kick off your shoes, grab your favorite drink, boot up the computer and log in to the internet. Then you type in what you’re looking for and bang the results pop up on the screen for your review. That alone saved you a lot of time and talk.
Interesting Question.
