Permanent life insurance is a good idea when the death benefit is to be used for funeral costs, when the insured is using life insurance to pass their estate to heirs, when leaving money to a charity, or other purposes which require that the life insurance is in effect at the time of the insured person's death, even if at a very old age.
Permanent life insurance must be used if the desire is for the policy to build up cash value, or if the policy owner wants to have a reduced paid up policy if they ever stop paying premiums.
