Can You Put Life Insurance On Anyone? 
No , people can not put life insurance on anyone . Life insurance can not be used to profit from another 's death . So there must a financial relationship between the Owner/Beneficiary of the policy and the Insured , in which the death of the Insured would cause financial loss to the Owner/Beneficiary . E.g. . A mother could take out a policy on her wayward adult son who owes her money , but that son coulld not take out a policy on his mother to get even more money out of her .
