I have an 88 year old female client with $100,000, is there any type of life insurance to put her into.?

the life insurance thing must be your idea not hers. so what is your motive? people at the age of 88 don't much worry about insurance, especially if they are sitting on $100,000.

My advice is that you refer your client to a Certified Financial Planner. Please do not just try to "sell" her something. She needs someone to individually sit down with her, go over her goals, her assets, her tax situation, etc. and then come up with a plan that will be in her best interests and in my opinion will probably not involve a life insurance policy.

It is admirable that you are trying to help your client and that you know to ask others for input but she really needs someone with the expertise of a Certified Financial Planner.

Good Luck

The purpose of Life Insurance is so that surviving family members have the $$ to cover the loss of a breadwinner. This way they can still make the mortgage, etc. If this woman has no one financially dependent on her, or for whom the $100K inheritance wouldn't be enough; then she doesn't need life insurance.

shouldn't you know that?

Yes, coverage is available up until age 90.

If you are looking to get the $100,000 out of her estate, or looking to increase the size of her estate, you can look for a single premium life policy, dump the $100k in it, and upon death her beneficiaries receive the death benefit tax free which would be greater than the $100k put into it. Check with your tax advisor for your specific circumstances.

why does she need life insur at her age? - she can't possibly have any minor children

Consideriing her assets and age , I don't believe it would be worth it.
I would suggest the client pre pan and pore pay her funeral.
That way she gets precisely what she wants, and what she pays for the funeral would diminish the value of the estate,......... and also estate taxes.

What's the POINT of the life insurance? You want to transfer the $100,000 to someone else, tax free? Actually, if that's ALL her assets, it would be tax free anyway.

At 88, you're not going to get odds on her. So whatever the goal is, it's probable going to be cheaper to do it without insurance.

it would have to be a single premium policy would be your best bet.....problem is most insurance companies, at least the ones i deal with have maximum issuance ages at 85

As LifeInsurance Ag said, she may be able to qualify for life insurance up to age 90, but I don't think "put her into" is the right turn of phrase.

You might be acting more prudently by sending her to a fee-only financial planner instead trying to find a sale. If the financial planner sees a need for life insurance, they should reciprocate (being fee-only, they cannot sell commission products) and refer her back to you to execute the plan.

Term life?

Sure...the problem is the premium is about $100,000 per year.
