Peter,
Even if your age is 65, you can still avail a senior term life insurance. However, there are processes that you have to go through first to confirm your insurability such as medical exams and filling up of questionnaires. These processes are needed in order to determine the amount of premiums for your term life insurance. All you have to do is submit certain requirements and the life insurance company will decide whether you’re qualified on any policy for a senior term life insurance.
Certain policies of many life insurance companies vary from one another. Some life insurance companies would approve your application for a 20-year senior term life insurance if you are healthy. However, if you have a family history of diseases like cancer or diabetes, that same term may be reduced to only 10 years. This is primarily because seniors over the age of 50, people are more prone to illnesses that could possibly increase insurance risks. But, this fact does not imply that you will no longer be able to get a senior term life insurance. However, a person’s age is a factor in assessing the amount of premium that you’ll be paying. And if you want more guidance regarding a suitable senior term life insurance for you, try inquiring with your local agent in Dallas. Good luck Peter!
