Consent matters
An adult child generally cannot secretly take out individual life insurance on a parent. The insured parent ordinarily must know about and consent to the application.
PARENT COVERAGE WIZARD
Exploring Coverage for Mom or Dad?
Start with a few general questions about your parent’s age range, overall situation, existing coverage, and why you are considering life insurance. You’ll receive an educational summary before you decide whether you want to speak with a licensed agent.
01
Keep it general
No exact birth date, diagnosis, medication list, policy number, or financial account information is needed.
02
Understand what matters
See how age, general health, the reason for coverage, existing insurance, and parent participation can shape the conversation.
03
Choose your next step
Read your educational summary first. Contact information is only requested if you choose to ask for an agent consultation.
Guided Parent Coverage Tool
Tell us a little about the situation.
This is not an application or a quote. It is a short educational tool to help you prepare for a conversation about coverage for a parent.
Your parent generally needs to participate.
Life insurance on another person ordinarily requires the insured person’s knowledge and consent, along with any application or underwriting participation required by the carrier and state law.
No exact medical details required
No contact information required to start

Important
Policy availability, pricing, benefit amounts, underwriting, waiting periods, exclusions, and eligibility vary by applicant, carrier, state, and policy. Review the actual policy and carrier materials before applying. This tool is not legal, tax, financial, or medical advice.

BEFORE YOU APPLY
Three things to keep in mind about coverage for a parent
The wizard helps organize a conversation. An actual application requires carrier-specific information and the insured parent’s participation.
Age and health affect options
Available policy types, benefit amounts, underwriting paths, and pricing can change substantially with age and health. Broad categories are enough for this tool.
Start with the financial purpose
Funeral costs, debts, support for a surviving family member, lost financial contributions, and legacy goals can lead to very different coverage conversations.
