Does anyone know of an insurance company that offers life insurance policies for really old people, 80+ years old?
Most insurance companies only insure up to age 75 or 80, it appears.
I did hear one company advertise on the radio, saying it insured people up to age 85, but I was driving and could not write down their number or website. I tried to memorize it until I could pull over and write it down, but I was not successful.
I just spend 20 minutes on the internet, and this is a terrible way of researching insurance. I specifically search for "elderly" life insurance and I get directed to companies that I know, from past experience, won't write such a policy.
And I'm not interested in leaving my contact information at dozens of different websites to be spammed by insurance salespeople starting tomorrow and ending 10 years from tomorrow. (Salespeople WILL call you regardless of whether they have the kind of policy you want-- they'll try to switch your interest to some other product they offer.)
