Life Insurance for Seniors

Insured after 50, 60, 70 or 80: it is not too late

It is not too late. Canadian insurers offer life insurance for seniors well into your 70s and, for some products, up to age 85. The question is not whether you can get coverage, but which type fits what you want it to do: pay for a funeral, leave something to your children, clear a debt, or protect a spouse.

With ClicAssure.com, one short form gets you quotes from 20+ Canadian insurers. A licensed advisor in your province walks you through the options, free and with no obligation.

Why seniors buy life insurance

  • ✔ Cover funeral and final expenses so your family doesn’t have to
  • ✔ Leave money to children or grandchildren, tax-free
  • ✔ Pay off a mortgage, a line of credit or a car loan
  • ✔ Replace a pension that stops or is reduced when you pass away

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

What types of life insurance are available to seniors?
  • Term life to age 75 or 80: the most coverage for the lowest premium if you are 50 to 65 and want to protect a spouse, a mortgage or a business for a set number of years.
  • Whole life or final expense insurance: a smaller amount, guaranteed for life, with premiums that never increase. The usual choice for funeral costs and a legacy.
  • Simplified or guaranteed issue: no medical exam, a few health questions or none at all. Designed for seniors with health conditions or who simply want a fast, simple answer.
What affects the price of life insurance for seniors?

Your age, your health, whether you smoke, the amount of coverage and the type of policy. Two insurers can quote very different prices for the same senior, which is why comparing matters more after 60 than at any other age.

Can I get life insurance at 70, 75 or 80?

Yes. Most Canadian insurers issue term or whole life policies up to age 75 or 80, and guaranteed issue policies are available up to 80, sometimes 85. Options narrow and prices rise with age, so it pays to compare several insurers.

Do seniors need a medical exam to get life insurance?

Not always. Simplified issue policies ask a few health questions with no exam, and guaranteed issue policies ask none at all. Fully underwritten policies with an exam usually cost less per dollar of coverage if you are in good health.

How much life insurance does a senior need?

Enough for what you want it to do. Final expenses in Canada often run from $10,000 to $25,000; add any debts you want cleared and any amount you want to leave. An advisor helps you size it without overpaying.

Is life insurance for seniors expensive?

It costs more than at 40, but a smaller amount of whole life or a term to age 80 is often more affordable than people expect. The biggest savings come from comparing insurers, because their pricing for seniors varies widely.

What is final expense insurance?

A small whole life policy, typically $5,000 to $50,000, meant to cover a funeral and last bills. Premiums are fixed for life and many versions require no medical exam.
