Survivorship Life Insurance
Affordable Life USA has been helping people across the country secure affordable survivorship life insurance for more than thirty-five years.
Survivorship (or second-to-die) life insurance covers a married couple under one policy and pays out only after both have passed away.
While it’s usually used for estate planning, this type of policy can support all kinds of financial goals:
- Estate Planning: Helps cover estate taxes, often used with trusts to keep the payout outside the taxable estate.
- Asset Protection: Can prevent a forced sale of your home or business, making it easier to pass on assets.
- Leave a Legacy: Creates an inheritance for children and supports long-term financial security for your family.
- Special Needs: Policies can be used to fund trusts that care for children with special needs.
- Charitable Giving: Death benefits can make a significant impact by supporting charities and causes close to your heart.
- Estate Equality: Balances the estate if one child inherits a business by providing cash or assets for other heirs.
- Business Succession: Helps business partners ensure the company can continue or transition smoothly in the event that both owners pass away.

Easy Qualification Process
To qualify for coverage, you and your spouse must provide the details of your medical history and undergo a brief medical examination as part of the application process.
Don’t worry! Survivorship life policies have very relaxed underwriting criteria, and most couples qualify for coverage.
This means that couples can qualify for coverage even if one spouse has health issues, provided the other spouse is in acceptable health.
Good news! Since survivorship insurance covers two lives with one policy, it is much cheaper than buying separate permanent policies for both partners.

Buy Guaranteed Protection
When selecting a policy, it is important to buy one that will last your entire lifetime.
Remember that survivorship insurance is purchased for the death benefit only, not to build cash value inside the policy.
We recommend survivorship universal life (SUL), which provides contractual guarantees that coverage will continue as long as premiums are paid on time.
These affordable SUL policies offer lower fees and expenses than traditional whole-life coverage.

Should You Consider an Individual Policy?
Second-to-die life insurance isn’t the right fit for every couple. If your main goal is to make sure your partner is financially secure if you die first, separate policies are the way to go.
If you’re shopping for life insurance as a couple, decide if you both need individual policies or whether a survivorship coverage would be a better idea.
It’s always a good idea to compare your choices. Try using a life insurance calculator to see how different policy types and coverage amounts work out for you.
