What Is Juvenile Whole Life Insurance?
- 4249 POINTSview profileGary LanePresident, Lane Independent Agency, Southern CaliforniaWhen a whole life policy is purchased on a minor, it is called juvenile whole life. New York Life actually has a Family Policy which covers both parents and includes juveniles for free. You can also purchase an individual policy and add a juvenile to it as a Rider. The method I suggest is purchasing a whole life policy for a juvenile of their own. The cost is incredibly low, and it not only guarantees insurance, but insurability for a child that may develop any of numerous illnesses, as they get older or even as a child.

Child riders provide a benefit if a child dies, and allow the child to convert it to Whole Life when they are adults. But Juvenile Whole Life starts accumulating cash value at a young age, with the emphasis more on using it for life, even though it also does pay a death benefit.Answered on December 28, 2013flag this answer
