Does Life Insurance End? 
There are permanent life insurance policies that have no maturity date nor endowment date , but simply end at the death of the insured and the language in these contracts reflects this . The Guinness Book of World Records certified Jeanne Calment as the oldest person who ever lived in modern history at 122 years , 164 days . So ultimately life insurance coverage can not extend past the life of the insured . The average maturity date for most permanent products is age 121 . Not long enough for Jeanne .
