Hey everyone,
I'm looking into Survivorship Life Insurance (also called second-to-die insurance) and wondering if anyone here has experience with it?
From what I’ve gathered, it’s a type of life insurance that covers two people—usually spouses—and only pays out after both pass away. It seems like it’s often used for estate planning, reducing estate taxes, or leaving a legacy to kids or grandkids.
What I’m trying to understand is:
Is it worth it compared to two separate policies?
What are the pros and cons?
Is it a good choice if one spouse is uninsurable?
I found this article helpful: https://insureguardian.com/services/family-life-insurance/survivorship-life-insurance/ – it breaks down who it's for and how it works.
Would love to hear from anyone who has a policy or looked into this type of coverage. Is it a smart move for long-term estate planning? Or are there better options?
Thanks in advance!
