Whole Life Insurance of Newborn Alaska AK

Reader’s Question:

Recently, my wife gave birth to a son here in Alaska. Can I get my son a life insurance policy even if he’s just newly born?

Randy, the answer is–Who’s stopping you to get your son a life insurance policy? At age 0, your son will get the cheapest life insurance rate any person can get. Not only that, let’s say you got him a 10-years-to-pay whole life insurance plan, by the time he reaches 10 years of age, you already have paid in full your son’s policy.

For newly born babies, we usually suggest whole life insurance policies that have cash value built up features, so by the time he’s 20 or 25 or 30 years old, he already has accumulated a fortune. These figures we’re talking about is substantial enough that he can pay for his college tuition, assuming you did not borrow against the policy and missed a premium payment at any given time during the payment period. Imagine, your son will be able to afford studying at Harvard or Yale or any expensive Ivy League school because you had made arrangements early on.

But remember, Randy, should your son get the money, the accumulated benefits of the whole life policy will be considered paid, and the contract between contracting parties will end as the policy, in effect, is surrendered. To all the daddies like you in Alaska, my hat’s off to you.
