Did Michael Jackson have Burial Insurance?

Michael Jackson�s funeral delayed because Janet wanted her $40K burial deposit back, says new book.

When it came time to bury Michael Jackson, the scheming over money did not cease. According to Sullivan�s book, Michael was not laid to rest until September 2009 (he died on June 25) because Janet would not allow it until his estate repaid her the $40,000 cemetery deposit that she had ponied up to secure him a spot at Forest Lawn in Glendale, California. 

If Michael Jackson had Burial Insurance, all the $40,000 cemetery deposit would be paid by the insurance - depending on his policy.

Buying insurance to finance your funeral may seem like a no-brainer - death is inevitable, after all, and somebody will have to pay.

While it's important to know how your funeral expenses will be paid, don't forget to look at other expenses your loved ones will incur after you're gone. 
When considering final expenses, take a step back and look at the bigger picture,if you were to pass away, will all the financial needs of your dependents be taken care of?
Consider other needs besides the funeral, such as paying medical bills, paying off a mortgage and protecting an estate for heirs.
Call us at 813-964-7100 and talk to one of our financial advisers to get a handle on what those expenses might be and the amount and type of life insurance to buy. Rather than purchasing a small, guaranteed issue life insurance policy or a preneed policy for your funeral, you might want to buy a larger, traditional life insurance policy, which could take care of funeral expenses as well as other financial needs your family might have. Keep in mind a term-life insurance policy will cover you only for the policy's term, such as 10, 15 or 20 years. Only permanent insurance, such as whole life or universal life, provides coverage no matter when you die.
Guaranteed issue plans for funeral expenses are marketed to seniors, but other types of permanent life insurance are viable options for older adults. Mintco Financial is a leading company in Burial Insurance and can get a Life Insurance for seniors over 80.
