Get My Rate NowYes — though rates are higher than earlier in life, a healthy 60-year-old in Texas can still qualify for term life, GUL, or final expense coverage. A 10-year $250,000 term policy might cost $125–$195/month for a female or $168–$268 for a male in preferred health. Locking in rates at 60 before any health changes is critical.
It depends on the goal: For income replacement through working years, a 10 or 15-year term policy. For legacy and estate planning, Guaranteed Universal Life (GUL) provides permanent coverage at the lowest cost. For covering funeral expenses, final expense whole life is the right fit. Tower Hill can help you match coverage to your specific situation.
Yes — if you have financial obligations that will end in 10–15 years. Common examples: a spouse who depends on your income, a mortgage with 10 years remaining, or children still in school. If you're seeking coverage beyond 75, a permanent policy is more appropriate.
A permanent life insurance policy (GUL or whole life) creates an income-tax-free death benefit that transfers wealth to heirs efficiently. For larger estates, an Irrevocable Life Insurance Trust (ILIT) can remove the death benefit from your taxable estate. Tower Hill can connect you with an estate planning attorney for complex needs.
Many managed health conditions at 60 (controlled hypertension, Type 2 diabetes on oral medication, high cholesterol) still qualify for standard or even preferred rates with the right carrier. For significant health issues, guaranteed issue final expense policies are available with no health questions for ages 50–85. Tower Hill shops multiple carriers to find the best fit for your health profile.
