    Yes, a child can get life insurance for a parent. The parent must sign the application and do the exam, if an exam is required. If there is no exam required, the application process often involves a phone interview, and the parent must be able to answer the interview questions on their own. 

    If you support your parent in any way, you can get a policy to help reimburse you after your parent passes. If you do not financially support your parent, you are still eligible to get your parent a small final expense policy. 

    Contact an online final expense life insurance agency to get prices and types of policies available. It is a great thing you are doing; all the best to you and your parent.

    Can a child get life insurance for an adult?   It will depend on the age of the child as an insurance contract requires the owner of the policy be of legal age. If younger than 18 or without court recognition making the minor able to contract as an adult, it would not be allowed. Of legal age and with the consent of the parent who will be the insured, not a problem.
