Senior Life Insurance

What is the difference between term and whole life insurance for seniors?

Term life insurance covers you for a specific period — such as 10, 15, or 20 years — and is generally cheaper per dollar of coverage, but it expires and has no cash value if you outlive the term. It can be harder to qualify for or afford at older ages, and coverage ends right when it may be needed most.

Whole life insurance covers you for your entire life as long as premiums are paid, with a level premium that never increases and a cash value component that grows over time. It typically costs more per dollar of coverage than term, but it guarantees a payout.

For seniors specifically focused on covering funeral costs or leaving a guaranteed inheritance, whole life (including final expense policies) is usually the more practical choice since it doesn't expire.
