yes you can. Some companies that sell the easy issue kind of policies may restrict the total dollar amount that you can buy. Other than that, if you are taking out regular life policies (the kind that you give blood, medical reports, etc) you should be fine.

There is no limit to the number of life insurance policies you can take out on yourself. However, life insurance is not a means of investment. You should consider the purpose of the death benefits. Once the purpose is fulfilled your money may be put to use more wisely in safe investments.

What is the average return of premium life insurance?

Return-of-premium life insurance is like an ordinary life insurance policy, but payments made on premiums are returned to the insured individual if the policy ends and they are still alive. Thus, return-of-premium life insurance policies do not punish one for outliving their life insurance. The average such policy might cost 25% to 50% more in premiums, compared to an ordinary life insurance policy.


What are the benefits of life insurance settlement?

A life settlement is a financial transaction in which the owner of a life insurance policy sells an unneeded policy to a third party for more than its cash value and less than its face value. Until recently, if a policyowner opted out of a policy by surrendering the policy or allowing it to lapse, the additional value was relinquished back to the issuing life insurance company.


What is the difference between cash value type policy and term policy?

A cash value type of life insurance policy usually provides lifetime coverage. Also, there is an investment portion to the policy that builds cash value over time. You may be able to take a loan out from the policy, or even use the cash value to buy more life insurance protection. Term life insurance provides temporary life insurance protection for a specific period of time. Usually term life policies offer coverage for 1-30 years. many term life plans are issued for a period of 10, 15, 20, or 30 years of coverage. Term life insurance does not build cash value within the policy. Term life is considered "Pure Protection" because there is no investment portion, you pay for and receive only life insurance protection. Permanent life insurance usually costs up to 2-3 times more than term life insurance. Although term life is less expensive, the rates do increase when you are older. For instance, if you buy a 10 year term life insurance policy, and you outlive the policy term, it would cost you more to buy a new 10 year policy once your first policy expires.

Can your ex-wife's grandparents have a life insurance policy on you if you didn't sign anything or have insurable interest in TN if you have kids with your ex and the policy was created before divorce?

If you had life insurance to cover your wife and children, then you may have not realized you could have agreed (if you were divorced) that your wife would continue to have your life insurance policy. I have no idea where the grandparents came into this. Get a copy of the life insurance policy and see a lawyer about this. There is a little more to it and therefore, more complicated. You really need legal advice on this one. Sorry I couldn't help you more.
