Secure your future with life insurance in your 50's. Explore coverage options and benefits tailored for this stage of life. Get started today!
When you reach your 50s, you have many things to look forward to. Your kids are most likely older or already grown, and you are probably more financially secure than ever before. However, when it comes to financial planning for your 50s (and up), does life insurance have a place?
Many Americans have not taken critical steps toward protecting their family’s financial future if the unexpected happens. If someone relies on your income for their well-being, you need life insurance.
Here are some additional reasons you may need life insurance if you are 50 years old or older:
Term life insurance is a good fit for people who are looking for coverage for a set period. For example, you may feel that you need coverage until your kids are finished with school or until your mortgage is paid off.
Permanent life insurance is a good option for people who want the security of lifelong coverage (as long as payments are made). It can be helpful with final expenses and legacy planning, and the cash value component can be beneficial to retirees. Due to the cash value component and the coverage duration, permanent life insurance policies are more expensive than term. Therefore, it is essential to ensure the premiums are within your current and future budget.
Ethos’ guaranteed-issue whole life insurance is a permanent life insurance product. It offers guaranteed coverage to all applicants ages 65–85 and is a good fit for people looking for help with final expenses.
Life insurance covers death from illness, accidents and simply old age. This includes deaths from diseases, falls, car accidents and COVID. Deaths from accidental drug overdoses are covered.
A narrow type of life insurance called accidental death and dismemberment covers only deaths that are accidental, such as an accidental fall or car crash. It does not cover deaths by illness, disease or old age.
Whether you are looking for life insurance for yourself, your spouse, children, or parents, it can be a difficult conversation. However, once you consider the consequences if something happens to you or a loved one without it, it is much easier to open up about how life insurance can give you and your family peace of mind.
