Yes, there are life insurance plans available for people 80 or over, if they qualify for coverage.
Depending on the insurer, you may be able to get term life, whole life or guaranteed issue life insurance coverage if you're age 80 or over.
Some of the leading providers of life insurance for people in their 80's include Vantis Life, United of Omaha and Colonial Penn, among others.
However, most of the options available for people in their eighties will be guaranteed issue life insurance policies.
With guaranteed issue coverage your acceptance is guaranteed. You won't have to take any health examination, and you won't have to answer any questions about your health.
What's the catch? Well, these guaranteed issue plans have graded death benefits - which means you have limited coverage the first 2 years you are insured. Then, after two years you have full coverage. That's how they can guarantee your approval for a policy.
