Life Insurance Options for 76 Year Old’s

If you are 76 looking for life insurance and want to understand your options we will break it down for you. The types of coverage 76 year old’s can get term, universal and final expense insurance but at this age it can make some of these certain types of coverage limited.

Term Life Insurance

If you are 76 years old the only type of life insurance you are going to qualify for is a 10 year term policy, you can get a 15 year term policy only with Transamerica’s Trendsetter term but their underwriting is extremely strict. Most seniors getting a life policy over 75 are either going to get a high rate with Transamerica(Table ratings) or denied altogether.

This means for most seniors applying with companies other than Transamerica you will only have term insurance for 10 years, after that it expires and by then you will be 86 years old. That means if you wanted to still have life insurance over 85 your only option would be a limited amount of life insurance companies for burial insurance.

There are no term life options or traditional whole life policies available at age 86. You would be limited to a few life insurance companies offering final expense insurance.

Medical Exam

Keep in mind that you will also be required to take a medical exam if you wanted a 10 year term policy. If you have a past history of health conditions this will give you a much higher premium rate or disqualify you depending on your health.

So you can get approved for a more expensive policy with a very short term period. This is why you are most likely better off with a permanent type of policy.

Universal Whole Life Insurance

When it comes to more traditional life whole life insurance like a universal life policy you have 5 options.

Available Companies for Universal Life Policy at 76 Years Old

• Protective
• North American Life Insurance Company
• Corebridge
• Legal & General
• American National

Medical Exam

Universal life requires a medical exam and APS(Attending Physicians Statement) records to qualify for their policies. As we mentioned the only company that will offer you universal life insurance at age 76 is protective.

We have never seen a 76 year old get approved for Protective life insurance after doing their medical exam. In our 10+ years of being life insurance agents we have never seen protective approve a 76 year old for coverage. That is why we do not recommend universal life policies to seniors, they are extremely difficult to qualify for and there is only 1 company available.

Final Expense Burial Insurance

Funeral insurance is the best type of life insurance for 76 year olds because it is designed for seniors. You will have well over 10 or more life insurance companies to choose from. In addition to this they are simplified issue whole life insurance policies.

No Medical Exam

Final expense insurance does not require a medical exam to qualify you simply answer health questions. In addition to the health questions the life insurance company will look at your medical history and prescriptions. If everything on lines up with your answers to their health questions you will be approved.

Qualifying for Burial and Life Insurance age 76

First and foremost, these are simplified issue plans. This means that there are no medical exams required to qualify for coverage. All you have to do is answer the carrier’s health questions with your agent and as long as your prescriptions are mild and match up with your answers to the health questions according to your MIB and script check you will be approved in 30 minutes or less.

That is how simple it is to get coverage, we help 90% of our clients get immediate coverage with no waiting period.

Term Insurance is not Good for Seniors

The reason we do not recommend term life insurance as a good option for seniors is that term terminates. The term cannot stay with an insured past age 90 not to mention the premium increasing over time as the policy renews itself if you can still qualify. This means if you are age 76 you have less than 15 years until your term expires and if you outlive it your family gets nothing.

Individuals in Poor Health Still qualify for Burial Insurance

If you fall into the 10% category of unhealthy individuals who cant get coverage without a waiting period you can still get a guaranteed issue life insurance policy. These plans have no health questions and do have a 2-year waiting period.

In addition to this, there are living benefits with our GI plans if you get diagnosed with a terminal illness due to health issues the guaranteed issue plan we can help you get will allow you to borrow from the face amount to use alongside your health insurance to offset costs.

That is why our carriers have such high life insurance ratings among consumers.

The benefits are as follows:

• Rate Lock – Premium Never Increase
• Level Death Benefit – Death Benefit Never Decreases
