Life insurance can be beneficial for your childrenAs a parent, you worryabout your childrens health, being able to afford what they need and about what the future holds for them. You want to do what you can today to help smooth the way for your children tomorrow. Life insurance for your children will help ease your mind on one important worry: whether your children will be able to purchase life insurance when theyre adults, when their responsibilities make life insurance vital.You can protect your children in one of two ways: Add them to your existing life insurance policy. Coverage can be provided through a childs rider, typically with a value anywhere from $5,000 to $20,000. Children as young as 15 days are eligible for coverage. At age 25, your child can often convert the rider to a permanent individual policy for up to five times the riders coverage. This means a child covered for $5,000 is guaranteed a $25,000 policy of his or her own at age 25without answering any medical questions. Purchase individual policies for your children. Your children can be covered under permanent policies in their own names. The cost is low because of your childs age, and the cash value accumulation in the universal life plan can mean extra funds for college. And no matter what medical problems surface, your child is guaranteed coverage, as long as you keep up with the premiums. You cant predict what the future holds for your children, but you can help eliminate some uncertainty by contacting your independent insurance agent today to discuss a life insurance plan for your offspring.
