A life insurance policy to protect a child's life is similar to a policy of insurance for adults. In return for the promise of a death benefit, premiums are usually paid monthly or annually. The policyholder typically holds an insurance policy that covers an adult. This is the person who is covered under the policy. A policy for a child will ensure the child, but the policyholder is the parent, grandparent, or legal guardian. If the insured child passes away, the policyholder can also be named as the beneficiary.
Children's life insurance policies are typically whole-life policies. This means they provide lifetime coverage as long as premiums have been paid. The premiums are usually fixed and won't change over time. A portion of the premium can be used to build cash value that can be accessed anytime the child is alive.
