Life Insurance for Children
As parents, we would do anything for
our kids. Photo by Ted Bongiovanni
Life Insurance for a child’s life can be a delicate subject, but can make financial sense, depending on your families financial situation. Insuring a child at a young age guarantees that he or she has insurance now and has the ability to get insurance in the future.
As parents, we would do anything for our kids, but what if the medical expenses were already taken care of and we could concentrate on being our child's soft place to fall?
In the article A detailed look at Canadian Insurance Companies you will find a comparison of three Canada's leading Whole Life insurance carriers for children. For more information on whole life insurance for children, please contact us at 1-866-899-4849 or visit our online Whole Life Insurance Instant Quote Page.

BankRate.com: Buying child life insurance
09/18/2010
Photo by Yolanda FenwickEileen McGeough bought life insurance for her two children after her neighbour's teenage son was killed in a car accident almost 20 years ago. The sudden death and watching the family struggle in the aftermath left McGeough feeling vulnerable. At the time, the young mother knew she wouldn't have the money on hand to bury one of her own children. For $15 a month per child, life insurance gave her some peace of mind.
"You don't think about these things until something happens," says Caledon, Ont.-based McGeough. "I just got scared and thought, God forbid, should anything happen it would be one less thing you'd have to deal with."

Insurance offer round the clock coverage
This type of insurance not only covers accidents that happen at school, but anytime anywhere, even during summer holiday. Coverage is 24/7."It's a fairly niche product and there are not a lot of companies that offer it in Canada," says Lorne S. Marr, founder of LSM Insurance in Markham, Ont. "It tends to be sold through direct marketing and there is not a lot of broker networking involved."
