Hi Caitlin. I am sorry to hear that your sister is sick. I’m sure your sister will appreciate your concern and initiative in seeking to provide her and her family with some level of protection in case anything untoward happens.

To tell you frankly, Caitlin, it is unlikely for an insurance company even in Indiana to grant a life insurance policy to a person who is already seriously or terminally ill at the time of application. If they do, they would probably charge you an arm and a leg – and it may not be worth it in the end. You can still try, of course, but then you can also explore other options.

For instance, do you already own a life insurance policy for yourself? Well, assuming that you need immediate access to cash to supplement the cost of your sister’s treatment, you can consider taking out a loan against the cash value of your insurance policy to help pay for expenses. If you don’t have a policy yet and don’t need the cash right away, I suggest you still consider taking out a life insurance policy for yourself anyway. You must realize the value of having this kind of protection in case of unexpected illnesses or even the threat of death.
