She and I have been divorced almost 20 yrs but she seems to be on a crash course with fate. I'd like to have a policy in place where if the unthinkable eventually happens our son can benefit from it. I don't want her to know about it as it may give her an incentive to live.

In order to have life insurance on someone else, you'd need to have insurable interest upon that person's life. Do you know what this 'insurable interest' means?

Whoa!! Anyway, this ain't happening. It's not possible to take out a life insurance policy on others names without their knowledge. And, if you try something of that sort, remember that you would be performing scam.
How old is your son? I'm sure there are other ways to benefit him than profiting from his mother's death.

I have a carrier that will insure someone without their knowledge. It is more expensive, but it is possible.
If you are interested feel free to e-mail me at brad @ brookfieldpartners.com
PS. for those agents that thought it wasn't possible...I own a brokerage firm, and have worked with agents to insure this risk.

Is that legal?

Of course it's legal. The insurer requires an agreement in place for divorce. From that, it shows a form of insurable interest.
Also, no medical exam is needed to complete.
It is most similar to a one year term policy, except that the policy is underwritten annually. But it is doable, it is just more expensive over the long run.
Most agents think this is not right because your average carrier doesn't insure this risk, and that's what you learn when you start in the business.....doesn't mean it's not possible.
If you know someone that may be a fit, let me know. I own a brokerage general agency, and we work with insurance agents. We work a lot with specialized risks, and this is one of them. In my opinion it is better off getting a fully underwritten contract, but it is not neccessary. Some cases you can't, and this may be one of them.

That's interesting. I worked along side some very "creative" agents before. Never came across this though.
What about a situation where a guy wants to leave money to his mistress? I've been told that the wife will always end up with the money. It sounds like your policy could work for that too. No?

That's certainly not true, if you named the mistress as the beneficary, the poor wife can't do a thing about it..OMG...totally that's illegal!
Choco, what exactly are you basing that knowledge on? He's explained to you that it's not, and I doubt he would post it for the world wide web to read if he thought he could get busted for it.Add your comment
