Can I Get Life Insurance On A Relative? 
You can usually get life insurance on a relative , but even with relatives , some insurable interest must exist . E.g. Nephew Mark can not take out a policy on Great-Aunt Mary unless Mary has been living with Mark , if Mark has been contributing to her , if Mary loaned Mark some money , or some other reason that monetary award is justified . If a close relative and a smaller amount of coverage , just the family tie can make the life insurance allowable .
