The general issue that this raises is that of "insurable interest". That term refers to the fact that a person taking out a life insurance policy (in this case) on another has to have a "stake" in the continued life of the insured.

In many States, relatives have an insurable interest in the lives of other relatives, based upon what is commonly called "love and affection". If the aunt is dependent upon the income or services of the nephew, or if, for example, he owes her money, she may have an insurable interest on that basis.

You will also have to be concerned with the underwriting guidelines of the insurer(s) that you approach. Therefore, it is probably best to utilize a broker who is empowered to submit applications to a number of insurers, rather than an agent who may be beholden to only one or a few insurers. Stated otherwise, different insurers have different underwriting guidelines, and not all will deem an aunt to have an insurable interest.
