Yes, you can buy life insurance on your sibling. A brother and sister have insurable interest in each other because of blood or marriage. Therefore, siblings can buy life insurance on each other because there is an insurable interest in one another. An insurable interest must exist at the time the life insurance contract is purchased, not necessarily at the time of loss.

Yes, if the laws/legal guidelines in that region recognize that siblings can have insurability interest on each others lives.

For instance UK laws doesnt recognize insurable interest engendered by natural love and affection. So, in UK:

  • Parents have no interest in the lives of their children
  • Siblings have no interest in the lives of their fellow siblings
  • Children have no interest in the lives of their parents (not in England / Wales / NI though Scottish law recognizes this)

Can you take out insurance for someone else?

Generally, you may not take out insurance on just anyone else. An insurance company can deny a policy to someone if there is no "insurable interest", between them like a blood relation or certain types of business relations.Yes. It depends on if they are a minor or an adult. An adult you will need them to sign the application. If there is an "Insurable Interest" on a child (ie: parent, grandparent) then you can just purchase it. 4LifeGuild
