Can an 83 year old get life insurance?

[Mark2365]

What is the name of your state? Arizona
Betty is 83, unmarried, smokes, in generally OK health,
and wants to get a life insurance policy, just to cover funeral expenses, maybe $10k.
She has no objections to a medical exam or questions.

Neither of
www.massmutual.com
or
www.newyorklife.com
or
www.northwesternmutual.com
would show online results; information is available only by calling an agent.

www.guardianlife.com shows a maximum age of 75
and
www.usaa.com shows a max age of 70.

Is a life insurance policy available for an 83 year-old?

Thanks, people.

Yes, there are life insurance policies available for the over-80 age group. Contact AARP and Mutual of Omaha. .

Yours is not a legal question, by the way.

Insurance companies exist to make money. While it may be possible to find life insurance for Betty, it will probably be very expensive. It might be a better choice for better to consider a pre-paid funeral.
