It depends on your situation. If your spouse relies on your pension or Social Security, if you have estate tax concerns, or if you want to leave a legacy—life insurance serves important purposes. If you're fully self-funded with no dependents, needs may be minimal.
Most pensions offer survivor benefits, but they're often reduced (50-75% of your benefit). Some retirees choose "single life" pensions for higher monthly income and use life insurance to protect their spouse instead—often providing more total value.
If you want permanent coverage, conversion is valuable because it requires no medical exam (terms vary by carrier). Your conversion rate is based on your original health class, not current health. Review conversion options before your term expires.
Life insurance provides immediate liquidity at death—crucial for estates with illiquid assets (real estate, business interests). It can pay estate taxes, equalize inheritances among heirs, or create a legacy that bypasses probate entirely.
Guaranteed issue policies accept all applicants regardless of health. Final expense insurance up to $25,000-$50,000 requires no medical exam or health questions. For larger amounts, simplified issue policies ask limited health questions.
