[30]
fundamentally life insurance is a
[32]
transfer of risk
[33]
and in most cases it's a transfer of
[35]
risk from
[36]
the insured to the insurance company for
[39]
the case of premature death
[41]
but let's face it when it comes to a
[43]
healthy child
[44]
the risk of premature death is pretty
[46]
low and that's why we think
[48]
what's more important in the case of
[50]
deciding whether or not to
[52]
purchase a policy for a child or
[54]
grandchild
[55]
the more important thing to look at is
[57]
locking in their insurability
[60]
that's right olivia so the reason that
[63]
the most important reason
[64]
that we recommend that parents or
[67]
grandparents purchase insurance for
[69]
their
[69]
child or grandchild is to lock in their
[72]
future insurability
[74]
that is so important because if they
[77]
lose their insurability because of a
[78]
mental or nervous problem
[80]
or a health issue or an occupational
[82]
issue
[83]
they're going to be guaranteed by the
[85]
insurance company through the policy
[87]
writer
[88]
that they will be able to purchase a
[91]
stipulated face amount
[92]
25 000 up to 125 000
[96]
every few years from the ages of 25
[99]
through 40. and this allows them as
[101]
their
[102]
become adults and maybe have have become
[105]
uninsurable now they can take care of
[108]
the things that are most important to
[110]
them their families
[111]
and their businesses that's right so
[113]
adding that guaranteed insurability
[115]
writer
[115]
for just a few dollars a year onto the
[118]
policy for the child
[119]
is going to lock in their ability to
[121]
purchase more insurance
[123]
throughout their adult life which is
[125]
really important
[126]
the next point to consider when thinking
[128]
about insuring a child
[130]
is the cost of the premiums now the
[132]
premiums cost
[133]
much much less for a child than they do
[136]
for an adult
[137]
because the insurance company has many
[139]
more years to collect those premiums
[141]
we often hear from people gee i wish i
[144]
purchased insurance when i was younger
[146]
what better time to purchase the
[147]
insurance than when you're a child
[150]
now obviously a child doesn't have that
[152]
ability but the parents do
[154]
my parents purchased small policies for
[156]
me that
[157]
in case i died they would they would
[159]
have the funeral covered
[161]
well i use those policies today i borrow
[164]
against those policies
[165]
to purchase my computers and every
[168]
couple years
[169]
i pay the money back and then it's time
[171]
to buy a new computer
[172]
well the other practical purpose of
[175]
having insurance we talked about earlier
[178]
was guaranteed insurability
[179]
my youngest son when he was 18 had a
[181]
stroke he's uninsurable
[183]
but he has a large policy with options
[186]
that he can purchase additional
[187]
insurance
[188]
in the future so he can take care of his
[191]
family and his business
[193]
this brings us to our next point and
[195]
that's the savings component of the
[196]
policy you see with every whole life
[199]
insurance policy the insurance companies
[201]
are making two promises
[203]
the first is to pay a death benefit
[206]
whenever the insured dies
[208]
and the second is that the cash value in
[210]
the policy will be equal
[212]
to the face amount at the age of
[214]
maturity
[215]
so the cash value is guaranteed to be
[217]
there
[218]
and because of that aspect of a whole
[221]
life insurance policy
[223]
you're actually getting multiple duty
[224]
dollars think about it
[226]
instead of just putting money away in a
[227]
savings account or a mutual fund or a
[230]
529 plan
[232]
you're also getting a death benefit
[234]
you're also getting future insurability
[237]
and you're also giving them the ability
[239]
to choose
[241]
how they want to use their money and
[242]
it's almost like their money's going to
[243]
be in
[244]
two places at once they'll always have
[246]
access to cash in the policy
[249]
and they can use it for whatever they
[250]
want and the money's going to continue
[252]
to grow
[253]
uninterrupted from on a tax-favored
[255]
basis
[257]
that's right and with the loan provision
[260]
they'll have guaranteed access whenever
[262]
you're ready to transfer the policy into
[265]
the child's name
[266]
once they reach adulthood they'll have
[269]
access to that policy
[271]
they'll have access to those cash values
[273]
they could buy their first car
[274]
they could help fund college they could
[277]
put a down payment on a house
[279]
the possibilities are limitless there's
[282]
no stipulations that say
[283]
what policy loans can be used for the
[286]
only stipulation is that
[288]
it's guaranteed that they'll have access
[290]
to the cash value
[291]
via the policy loans which is a really
[293]
great thing
[295]
for a savings vehicle for a child or a
[297]
grandchild
[298]
so now that we looked at the benefits of
[300]
owning
[301]
life insurance on a child or a
[303]
grandchild
[304]
we have to also discuss the rules
[307]
because insurance companies have special
[308]
underwriting
[309]
rules that they abide by when
[312]
considering offering insurance to a
[313]
child
[314]
the first rule is that the child can't
[316]
have more insurance in place
[318]
than the parent unless there's a good
[321]
reason maybe the parent isn't insurable
[324]
and the second rule is that when the
[326]
child has siblings
[329]
then all of the siblings need to be
[331]
equally insured
[333]
and in the case of a grandparent
[334]
purchasing on a grandchild
[336]
all of the grandchildren would also need
[338]
to have equal amounts of life insurance
[341]
in force
[342]
but once you understand the rules then
[343]
you'll know exactly what you need to do
[346]
in order to purchase the right amounts
[349]
for each child or grandchild
[351]
so to wrap everything up life insurance
[354]
is a unique
[355]
financial tool for children or
[358]
grandchildren
[359]
it could literally protect them from the
[362]
cradle
[363]
to the grave they'll have access to cash
[365]
everywhere along the line
[367]
they can use the money to supplement
[370]
their retirement
[371]
income on a tax-favored basis and then
[373]
they pass away
[375]
and the money goes to their children or
[377]
their grandchildren
[378]
it is a unique financial tool that
[381]
should be considered
[383]
it may not be everybody's choice but it
[385]
definitely should be considered
[387]
