All have mandatory 2 year wait periods and $9.95/month will get only $1,000. Even if your friend is unhealthy, he may qualify for immediate coverage. I work with nearly 15 different companies that specialize in this. Seriously, email me if you want the information.


Does a person have to be in a position that will result in negative economic consequences if the insured should die to be declared a beneficiary?

If OP is paying for the policy and the beneficiary will he have to prove insurable interest or is that just for property?

If the friend gives the authorization, some companies will allow it.

Not at all. The beneficiary is whoever the insured/owner says it is in most situations.

No one can answer this question unless we know why he wants the insurance

Probably some type of final expense policy. You may not qualify as having an insurable interest, so you may not be able to own the policy. If he’s the owner, he can make any changes or cash in the policy regardless of who pays the premium. Under most policies, a claim in the first two years will be contestable.

If the insured is honest in his answers to the health questions on the application then the contestability period won’t be an issue. Just don’t give the insurance company a way to back out.

Does he use any tobacco products?

Your options are going to be limited. For example, a 10 year term for 250k could be 273 a month if he doesn’t use tobacco and has no significant health issues. Substandard rates are going to be higher depending upon his health.

A 67 year old getting a term policy is not going to make sense 99% of the time. Too much underwriting and the company will use every medication, every health issue they find against him. A final expense policy makes much more sense unless he needs a large amount of coverage.

I’m giving him an example of what options are out there.

At age 67 anything other than guaranteed issue policies are going to review medical.

Even without an insurable interest in the covered party?

If he joins AAA, he can get guaranteed issue insurance.

It will probably still be investigated, though. Ordering medical records etc will create a delay. And if the policy is owned by an acquaintance, who is going to sign an authorization for release of records?

How many of these companies are issuing policies without insurable interest?

What if one pays premiums on term life as a “non-tobacco” user but has a celebratory cigar after a major life event and then dies?

Hancock Whitney had a deal where you lock in 25k and it is a guaranteed for life. Payout is based on age when policy taken though. Can break it at any time. Took one out on wife and it pays out $140k and some change. Not a bad idea if you have some extra money lying around.

If possible, he needs to go through underwriting to try and get immediate coverage. If you go with a “no questions asked, everyone’s accepted” product, he’s gonna get put on a two-year wait period and you might end up paying a lot more for less coverage. And, if he dies in the first two years, the benefit won’t pay out and you might get a return of premium.



So find a local company and be honest? He thinks he has cancer but i think he will make 2 years. Can you explain the underwriting part and what i have to do

Good question. 99% of the time the insurance company isn’t going to know. The exception would be if you die when the nicotine or tobacco is still in your system and a toxicology test is performed during the autopsy and the results show positive for it, the insurance company could potentially calculate the tobacco premiums from day one of the policy, subtract what was actually paid, then take that difference and subtract that from the death benefit payout. Not saying I agree with it but the law allows them to do that.

If he has cancer the only option he will have is a guaranteed issue policy and most of those are max $25,000. You could combine a few of them if you really want but keep in mind that’s gonna cost.
