Keep the cost in perspective
A modest benefit may have a small monthly premium. Your actual price depends on the child's age, state, amount, and policy. We will compare the payment and benefits rather than promise a pennies-per-day price that may not apply.
What the policy can and cannot do
A child's policy can provide a death benefit, build cash value, and include future purchase rights. It is not a substitute for a parent's income protection, an emergency fund, or an education savings plan. Start with the household's priorities.
Who owns it as the child grows?
A parent, grandparent, or other eligible adult typically applies and owns the policy initially. Ownership-transfer provisions vary. Confirm who pays premiums, when ownership can transfer, and what the new owner can do.
