Am I over reacting

Hello Ladies,

I don't post much but something came up the other day and I could use some feedback

So the about a week ago we got some of MIL's mail, because it had DH's name on it and the Post Office forwarded it to us. So I told MIL about getting it and she said "Oh that's H's Life insurance I have on him and have had since him and his brother were 2."

 I feel strange about it and I brought it up to DH and he said well she has had it since I was 2 it's not a big deal.

I want to know how you ladies would feel if you were in my position.

Re: Am I over reacting

  • I think a lot of people used to do this "incase" anything happened so they could pay for burrial and a funeral.  My parents bought a 25K policy for me when I was a baby and I know my mom still has it.  I wouldn't really worry about it or think about it.  If something were to happen I would think she would use it to help with the costs.

  • MIL had one on H and BIL honestly I think it's a great thing. Once we all got married she gave H and BIL their policies and they had the beneficiaries changed to their wife. MIL had one on herself as well and it was a HUGE help with her final expenses not to mention it gave H and BIL extra to be able to put up for kids and help pay off some bills. I see nothing wrong with it.  
  • My mom has one on me that she's had since I was a baby, and DH's parents have one for him too.

    My mom keeps meaning to send me the info so I can make DH the beneficiary, but you know... life happens and you forget.

    I don't think it's anything to be concerned about, and totally normal and actually very good practice.  I'll be doing the same thing for my kids :)

    Same!  I know my parents took one out for me when I was an infant- it's meant to cover final arrangements just in case.

  • I agree with the other ladies.  I can't figure out why you'd think it'd be an issue at all, honestly...kind of scratching my head.

  • I'm with the other ladies on this one.  My parents have one for my sister and I.  We actually took over the policies ourselves and have named our spouses beneficiaries on it.  I think it is a great thing....nothing to sweat over.
