Can I buy a term plan for my 19-year-old son?
—Lohit Sunder
A term plan is issued to a person who is earning. Both the proposer of the policy and the life to be insured has to be the same person. Hence, if your son is working and can provide an income proof he will be able to purchase a term plan for himself. You can guide him to opt for the appropriate plan. In case he is not earning, for now you can make him a nominee in your term plan.
