How to Get a Life Insurance Policy on Someone?

Published in Life Insurance 2 mins read

You can't simply get a life insurance policy on someone without their consent. Life insurance policies require the insured person's agreement and often a medical exam.

Here's how life insurance works:

  • The insured person: This is the individual whose life is covered by the policy.
  • The policyholder: This is the person who owns the policy and pays the premiums.
  • Beneficiary: This is the person or people who will receive the death benefit when the insured person passes away.

To get a life insurance policy, you must be the insured person or have their permission.

Here are some situations where you might be able to get a life insurance policy on someone:

  • Spouse or partner: You might be able to get a policy on your spouse or partner if they agree and meet the insurer's requirements.
  • Children: You can usually get a life insurance policy on your children, but this is typically a smaller policy for a specific period.
  • Business partner: You might be able to get a life insurance policy on a business partner if it's part of a business agreement.

It's important to note:

  • You cannot take out a life insurance policy on someone without their knowledge or consent.
  • It's illegal to take out a life insurance policy on someone with the intent to profit from their death. This is called murder for insurance and is a serious crime.

If you are looking to purchase life insurance, it's best to contact an insurance agent or broker to discuss your options and find a policy that meets your needs.
