Life Insurance For Seniors
WHEN THERE IS IF IN LIFE
Canada’s Leading Insurance Marketplace
Get an affordable, easy to apply for life insurance plan
For some age is just a number, but the fact of the matter is, that as we age, our needs for life insurance also change and health conditions tend to creep up as one gets older. The good news is that for seniors, the life insurance market has evolved over the years and has better plans today that cater to those over 50. It is now easier for you to get coverage that suit your needs, financial situation and even your health condition.
Some seniors over the age of 60 may have sufficient savings to cover all anticipated and unanticipated needs and may decide that insurance is unnecessary. However, there are still cases where most seniors do not have enough savings to settle their debts, and sometimes their heirs will still have to repay the senior’s debts even after death.
Life insurance is a financial product designed to provide cash to ease the burden on the family in the event of the passing away, but also gives you peace of mind knowing that your family will be financially stable if your income were to disappear. Seniors’ life insurance plans should include the burial cost, final expenses, debts, and some beneficiaries’ money if there have not been enough savings in the past to help your loved one in the unfortunate case of your passing.

-

Depending on the type of coverage one chooses, life insurance can also be an avenue to leave money behind for your family or loved ones on a tax-free basis.
Let’s build a plan that works for you.
Why Seniors Might Need Life Insurance
You want to provide an inheritance.
You have debts, like a mortgage.
You want to provide funds for your funeral.
You have outstanding medical bills.
You have a dependent with special needs.
You have business-related financial obligations
What type of Insurance can a Senior Get?
While seniors themselves are not an individual class when it comes to purchasing life insurance policies, some types of coverage do have age limits.Luckily, insurance companies seldom leave anything up for interpretation. Your coverage eligibility is based strictly on your specific age as opposed to a loosely defined “age group.”
As far as the maximum coverage amount that seniors in Canada can take out is concerned, it can vary from one insurer to another. However, some types of life insurance for seniors, such as guaranteed life insurance, have a maximum limit that’s usually the same across carriers.
Best for younger seniors (Under 75) who still have debts to pay off.

Types of Life Insurance
Depending on individual health, seniors can also choose between traditionally underwritten insurance policies (insurance with a medical exam) and non-medical insurance products.
Term Life Insurance
Term life insurance protects you for a set length of time, commonly referred to as a “term.” Term Life offers 10, 20, and 30-year options and more. The amount you agree to pay when the coverage begins is the cost you’ll pay for the length of your policy.
Simplified Life Insurance
Simplified issue life insurance does not require a medical exam and is more forgiving of health issues than a fully underwritten policy. Life insurance premiums will be lower than Guaranteed Issue because you will answer a few questions about your health.
Guaranteed life insurance
As its name suggests, guaranteed life insurance provides coverage regardless of one’s medical history and current health. To be eligible for the product, you do not need to take a medical exam or answer any health questions.
Permanent Life Insurance
Whole Life insurance policies can permanently protect your loved ones in the event of your untimely death. This is different from term insurance that covers you for a defined period of time. It covers the insured for their entire life and cash is distributed to the beneficiaries.
Can term life insurance taken by a senior be converted into a permanent form of insurance?
Yes, life insurance for seniors is convertible to permanent coverage. But, keep in mind that most term life insurance policies are convertible before age 71 only, though there are exceptions, with some companies allowing conversion before age 75.
What is the best life insurance for seniors in Canada?
We all strive to make the right decisions for our financial welfare. However, the best life insurance for seniors in Canada is a subjective concept that rests on many unique factors spanning desired coverage amounts and health status.

- Whole Life
- Universal Life
Age 60s
- Term 10, 20
- Whole Life
Age 70s
- Term 10
- Term 100

Term life policies are issued before the age of 75 by most insurance companies. For whole life coverage, some insurance companies issue up to age 85.Most term policies are renewable without a medical exam up to a certain age, such as age 75 or 85. For some insurance providers, term life insurance coverage is renewable for a policyholder’s entire lifetime (i.e. up to the age of 100). Renewal prices however are significantly higher.
