Most life insurance companies won't agree to insure a 86 year old. The upper limit is usually set at 85 for whole life and universal life policies. Index Universal life and term life policies have an upper limit of 90 years though. There is significant risk involved for the insurance company and they might decline your application. You might have a chance of getting a term life policy at an exorbitant premium rate though.

Not really, you may find a accident policy if they die in a accident.

Also there are a few limited pay policies, they over the first 3 to 5 years only pay you back the premium and then the face amount after that.

hi,
You Don't get insurance for this aged person, because the chance of getting risk is more for this much aged person.

Illiterate response.

Accidental death benefits are not life insurance. Life insurance may be available beyond age 84, but not in the standard market. Talk to a local agent to find out.

This may be extremely hard to find. You're better off with final expenses insurance instead of looking for term life, whole life or other permanent life instruments. Be prepared to pay exorbitantly for all types of policies though. However, you could look up a life insurance aggregator website like [Link removed as per TOU] for someone that old may be hard but not impossible to find from a larger pool of carriers.

Please explain what final expense insurance is if it's not TERM, WHOLE LIFE, or OTHER PERMANENT LIFE instruments? What else is there?

Does working for Accuquote mean you are a paid employee or a commissioned agent? Do you even have a life agent's license?[/quote]
