Final Expense Insurance Purchasing
Final Expense insurance is burial insurance for seniors who have not purchased a policy in their earlier, healthier ages and now must fund their burial costs through a late-life option. Final expense insurance.
Final expense insurance is not expensive, however. Typically the costs are from $50 per month to $100 per month for a $10,000 burial benefit. The age and current health condition of the client determine the total monthly cost. Typically, final expense policies have a first day benefit. This means the client pays their first month's premium and the policy is in force immediately for when death occurs.
The best final expense insurance policies are those with a cash value feature.
This guarantees that the policy will last the client's "whole life", instead of a term period where it will expire. Policies such as the one marketed by AARP are typically term life insurance policies which are usually not right for seniors. They are less than desirable because they expire either at age 70 or age 80. The senior would have been paying premiums this whole, entire time and still the policy will expire right at the time in which the benefit is most likely needed most. And all of those premiums? With a term policy they have vaporized from the client as 100% profit for the insurance carrier. Term policies always benefit the company and hardly ever the client. This means they always make the insurance company a profit.
Whole life policies, otherwise known as final expense or burial insurance coverage, is guaranteed to last for the client's whole life and guaranteed to pay the death benefit upon death. When purchasing homeowner's insurance or car insurance, the insurance companies bet that you will not use their policy. If you do, they cancel you or raise your rates dramatically, but the bet is that you typically will not have to use it.
With final expense insurance, the guarantee is that they know that you will, absolutely, use the benefits of the insurance. This is protection most families cannot do without, and should not do without.
