Do you need to have a life insurance policy for a certan amount of time before it will pay out?
-
I was looking at getting life insurance for my dad, im 19 and my sister is 20, we just found out our brother has multiple sclerosis and i got thinking, if that was my dad he would loose his job or maybe his life and we would be left with nowhere to live. So, thats the reason im looking to take it out, not because i want my dad to die e.t.c just because life is so unexpected. So, do i need to have the policy for say 1 year before it pays out? or do i just need to keep up with payments from day one? thanks in advance, also im in England UK

Answer:
It depends on the type of life insurance you get! And, you can't get it, without dad's permission and consent. And for that amount, he'd also need a medical exam. I'm wondering if you guys could even AFFORD to pay for life insurance for him?? It's not going to be $5 a month, ya know.

Assuming he qualifies for a traditional policy then it's generally considered in effect (conditionally) at the moment the application is complete, a deposit is paid, and the conditional receipt is given. If he gets hit by a bus crossing the street from the insurance agent's office then it should be covered (on the condition that they would have covered him if they did the entire underwriting process).

Insurance does not work like that. You would not get anything back for paying into insurance for a year. You need to have it for YEARS to get something back from paying into insurance and even then it's not even near what you paid over the years.
If your check is accepted and you received you policy, the policy is in force. If you have a loss on a covered peril (a death in the case of life insurance) the next day it will be covered. The exceptions to this would be anything that is excluded in the policy. In life policies they sometimes have waiting periods for pre-existing conditions or suicide. Outside of that, you have coverage. There are numerous types of life insurance, some with cash balances and some with fixed terms that are done as soon as the expiration date hits. You should talk to a local agent about your options. Start by talking to your auto insurance agent for options.
