Case for Life Insurance for Adult Children

While it's true that in many situations, there's no reason for parents to buy life insurance for their adult children, it's sometimes recommended.

Parents invest in their children and often, those investments are monetary. For example, sometimes, parents spend $100,000 or more in a child's college education. They may lend their child money to buy a car or start a company.

Melanie Musson, a nationally recognized life insurance expert with QuickQuote.com, explains, "In these situations where parents have a significant financial interest in their adult children's lives, a life insurance policy makes sense."

Getting a Live Insurance Policy for an Adult Child

People can't get a life insurance policy on anyone they want. For example, a life insurance provider will not write a policy for an average person to insure a celebrity's life.

A parent must prove insurable interest to get a policy for an adult child. This step will be easy to accomplish if a parent can show that they've invested in or lent their child money.

Next, the parent will need the child's permission. Parents can't secretly take out a policy on their children; they will need signed consent.

In many cases, the beneficiary will be the parent, especially if they are their adult child's next of kin.

Sometimes, the adult child's children or spouse will be named the beneficiary. In this situation, typically, the adult child pays for their own policy and names their children as beneficiaries.
