3 Life Insurance Options for Texas Seniors

From income replacement to permanent legacy coverage — we match your need and budget to the right product.

Term Life (Ages 50–75)

Coverage: $100K – $1M

Lock in a fixed premium for 10–15 years. Best if you have a clear liability with a known end date.

Best for: Mortgage payoff, spouse income replacement, specific debt

Guaranteed Universal Life

Coverage: $100K – $1M+

Guaranteed death benefit to age 90, 100, or 121. Far more affordable than whole life for the same permanent coverage.

Best for: Legacy planning, estate liquidity, wealth transfer

Participating Whole Life

Coverage: $25K – $1M+

Our whole life options build guaranteed cash value and are eligible for annual dividends. Premiums never increase and the death benefit never decreases.

Best for: Lifelong coverage with guaranteed cash value growth

Why It Still Matters

Protecting Your Family's Future at Every Age

Life insurance isn't just for the young. Texas seniors use coverage to replace spousal income, pay off remaining mortgage debt, fund final expenses so family isn't burdened, and create a tax-efficient legacy for children or grandchildren.

The average Texas funeral costs $9,000–$12,000. Medical bills at end-of-life average $11,000. A modest policy covers both — keeping your family's savings intact.

Senior Life Insurance FAQ

Can Texans over 60 still get term life insurance?

Yes. Term life is available up to age 75 in Texas, though term lengths shorten as you age. A 65-year-old can typically get a 10 or 15-year term policy. Rates are higher than at younger ages, but coverage is still attainable with good health.

What type of life insurance is best for seniors in Texas?

It depends on your goal. Term life is best if you have a specific liability (mortgage, supporting a spouse). Guaranteed issue coverage is best for applicants with health concerns who need modest coverage. Guaranteed universal life is ideal for legacy planning or wealth transfer.

What are typical life insurance rates for a 65-year-old in Texas?

A healthy 65-year-old male can expect to pay approximately $120–$180/month for a $250,000 10-year term policy. Women typically pay 20–30% less. Guaranteed issue policies for $10,000–$25,000 in coverage typically start around $50–$90/month depending on age.

Is there life insurance for seniors with health conditions?

Yes. Guaranteed issue whole life accepts all applicants 50–85 regardless of health — no medical questions asked. Coverage is typically limited to $5,000–$25,000, with a 2-year graded death benefit period.

Do I need a medical exam to get coverage after 60?

Not always. Simplified issue policies (short health questionnaire, no exam) are available for seniors. Guaranteed issue policies require no health questions at all. Tower Hill can help you find the best fit for your health profile.

What is guaranteed universal life (GUL) for Texas seniors?

GUL is permanent life insurance that guarantees the death benefit to a specific age (90, 95, 100, or 121) at a fixed premium. It's much more affordable than traditional whole life while providing lifetime coverage — popular for estate planning.
