Term Life Insurance For People Over Age 50, 60 and 70


	Compare Rates & Save

In a number of blogs and financial sites there have been an ongoing abundance of articles and comments regarding the cost and availability of life insurance for people over age 50, 60 or 70. Unfortunately, a lot of the information and opinions provided are just plain wrong! For example, a major financial portal, in an article entitled “Term or Whole Life” states:

“……… people who need coverage starting in their 60s and beyond may have no alternative but to buy whole life. Most companies simply won’t sell policies to people over about age 65.”

What a bunch of baloney! Right now, I’m looking at term life quotes for a male born January 1, 1938, making him age 74. The quotes I’m seeing show the availability of 10 year, 15 year and 20 year guaranteed term insurance and hybrid term policies from numerous top rated companies.

Not only is life insurance readily available, all underwriting classes (Standard, Preferred and Preferred Plus) are also open to applicants. There is no penalty for being over 50 or 60 or 70.

These quotes are not from marginal or specialized life insurance companies. Even after the ongoing financial markets turmoil, the companies offering these term insurance products are all rated at least A and A+ by A M Best and offer the most competitive rates available in the marketplace. Don’t you know that Lincoln National, ING, Transamerica , West Coast and other top tier insurers would be shocked to hear that they won’t sell you a policy if you’re “over about age 65?”

There is no penalty for being over age 50, 60 or 70 when you are shopping for term life insurance. Don’t be led astray by financial columnists, insurance agents, financial planners or your friends. Do your own research.
