Children's Whole Life Insurance Overview

Children's Whole Life Insurance covers the life of a minor and is typically purchased by a parent or grandparent. These policies are whole-life products, a type of permanent life insurance that lasts for the child’s entire life as long as the premiums are paid.

 

Coverage amounts tend to be low, and premiums are locked in, meaning they won’t increase as the child ages. Additionally, Children’s Whole Life Insurance builds cash value, a valuable investment component. A portion of the premium is paid into an account that grows over time.

The child can take ownership of the policy at certain ages, usually around 18 or 21. They can continue coverage, buy more, or cancel the policy altogether.

Juveniles covered through a term rider on their parents’ policies may also have the opportunity, upon reaching adulthood, to convert that term coverage to permanent coverage without going through underwriting. This means they can purchase additional coverage without undergoing a medical exam.

 

Benefits of Children's Whole Life Insurance include:

​

  • Financial Security: Provides lifelong financial protection, ensuring the child has a secure financial future.

  • Fixed Premiums: Premiums are locked in at a young age, making the policy more affordable over time.

  • Cash Value: Builds cash value that can be borrowed against for future needs such as education, a first home, or emergencies.

  • Guaranteed Insurability: This policy secures the child's ability to obtain more insurance later in life, regardless of health changes.

  • Inheritance Planning: This can be used as a tool for estate planning to support future generations financially.

  • Long-Term Investment: Acts as a long-term investment with a guaranteed rate of return, contributing to the child’s financial growth.

  • Flexibility: Offers flexible options for premium payments and policy loans, providing financial flexibility to the family.

  • Tax Advantages: The death benefit is generally tax-free to the beneficiary, and the cash value grows tax-deferred.
