How much does life insurance cost for a 70 year old?

Answered by 5 licensed agents

It depends on several factors. Height, weight, medications, health conditions, low much insurance you want, etc. The best thing to do is work with an independent agent that represents several companies and have them shop for you. That is what we get paid to do.

Life insurance costs for a 70 year old wil vary from company to company. It's important to remember that life insurance costs more for a 70 year old man than for a 70 year old woman. These costs will also vary based on the individuals height, weight, health, whether they smoke or not and where they live.

There is no simple answer for that. There are many factors built into the premiums companies charge. Your best bet is find an agent in your area who represents several companies and let them shop around for you based on your needs etc.

Life Insurance premium is based on Age, Gender, Smoking or Non Smoking, health conditions and family history. If a 70 years old, healthy, can get a permanent life insurance based on affordability. If limited of income, final expenses policy can be considered. Guaranteed issued life insurance policy is also available. I would love to talk to find out the needs. We provide solutions for all. Free Will and Trust offer with many of our solutions. Have a blessed day.
