50 is not very old...

A lot of people are having kids later in life and kids are still dependent on parents income, and many grandparents are assisting with grandkids expenses (either taking care of them or helping with school costs)

People aren't saving enough and having a large debt (like a mortgage) is not uncommon in your 60s and even 70s, and their spouse cannot survive financially without their income.

People want to leave a legacy to family or an organization

life insurance is the most efficient way to pass money down to heirs

Great way to equalize an estate among heirs

Permanent life insurance has several tax benefits for people in the right position.

Bro, those two things do NOT go together. People either leave a legacy and are debt free, or they don't. They really aren't going together.

Yeah OP Smoking ads a ton unfortunately. Personally, I would do something like $500k term life for 15 years and quit smoking. When you quit, get more.

Why haven't they worked to accumulate adequate savings?

You make fun of people that follow Dave Ramsey, but if they had they wouldn't be in this position.

They could leave it from the net worth they have accumulated.

The lawyer just gave me a check from my parents estate, seemed pretty efficient to me, few people have estates that result in tax liability.

Like I said we each got a check for a equal share of the estate, seemed pretty efficient, but really have no idea what you are talking about here.

Those situations are rare among the average person.
