Very good concept. What is the age limit for this plan?
I would like to know the monthly premiums if but this coverage for my entire family. There are five of us, including a 6 year old. Is there a family plan?
I have a question after going thru your site, I am a Mmuslim and living in Canada, we have different kind of formalities during the funeral. Can you please answer, whether you cover all those aspects related to each religion?
The stats and info given are great. What are the procedures for applying for this insurance? Also are their any exclusions I should know about?
If you want to save money for your family members and let them keep most of the payout you could give them permission to cremate you to save on various costs or not to hold a funeral at all, just a thought.
Hi Chelsey,
The age limit for most medical insurance plans range from 75 to 85. Assumption Life Golden Protection is available to applicants 85 and under.
Hi Jessie,
The premiums will depend on the type of plan Term or Permanent and the amount of coverage as well as age, gender and smoking status.
Hi Sammy,
The insurance company will pay out the money to the beneficiary and they can use it to any cost. They do not place a restriction how the money is spent.
Hi George, Thanks for the note. To apply you would need to speak with a licensed broke – you call us at 1.866.899.4849. All life insurance insurance policies have a 2 year incontestability period and suicide provision. Some No Medical Life Insurance policies also limit the payout of the non accidental deaths to a return of premium in the first 2 policy years.
