Often, yes. Citizenship is not always the test. Each insurer sets its own rules for residency, identification, documents, and underwriting, so the answer depends on the carrier and the policy.<\/p>\n<p>Florida law sets a basic rule. An adult of legal capacity may buy coverage on his or her own life and name anyone as beneficiary. Buying coverage on another person&#8217;s life generally requires an insurable interest, which is a recognized financial or family stake in that person&#8217;s life. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0627\/Sections\/0627.404.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 627.404<\/a> sets out these rules.<\/p>\n<p>Key terms, in plain words:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Underwriting:<\/strong> the insurer&#8217;s review of your application, health answers, and file.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Insurability:<\/strong> whether the insurer will accept you for coverage, and on what terms.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Issue:<\/strong> the insurer&#8217;s approval and delivery of the policy.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beneficiary:<\/strong> the person or entity that receives the death benefit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A coverage review can help you prepare.

Eligibility for each depends on the insurer&#8217;s rules and the facts of the case.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Green card holders and long-term US residents.<\/strong> Insurers often ask for residency history and status documents.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Visa holders living and working in the US.<\/strong> Visa status and its length may affect which carriers and policy terms apply.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Nonresident aliens and NRIs with US property, accounts, or family.<\/strong> Insurers may review residency and where the policy will be delivered.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Business owners with a non-citizen partner or key employee.<\/strong> Key person and buy-sell coverage raise insurable interest and written consent questions.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Families planning estate-related coverage across borders.<\/strong> Ownership and beneficiary choices can change both tax and estate results.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>Coverage Types Non-Citizens May Be Able to Buy<\/h2>\n<p>Several life insurance types may be available. Which one fits depends on the carrier and your situation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Term life insurance:<\/strong> coverage for a set period. The level-premium period and renewal terms depend on the specific policy and contract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Whole life insurance:<\/strong> life insurance that may build cash value under the contract. Cash value includes guaranteed and non-guaranteed amounts. Dividends, where a policy pays them, are not guaranteed. Loans or withdrawals can reduce both cash value and the death benefit.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Key person insurance:<\/strong> coverage on an owner, officer, or key employee, usually owned by the business. Florida law requires written consent from that person before the business buys coverage. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0627\/Sections\/0627.404.html\">Fla. Stat. \u00a7 627.404<\/a> covers this rule.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Buy-sell agreement insurance:<\/strong> coverage that may help fund a buyout of an owner&#8217;s interest. Florida law lets parties to a buy-sell contract insure each other&#8217;s lives for that contract.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Estate planning life insurance and NRI life insurance:<\/strong> general options whose fit depends on ownership, beneficiaries, and your circumstances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Riders, exclusions, and limits vary by policy. Read them in the actual contract.<\/p>\n<h2>What Insurers Commonly Ask For<\/h2>\n<p>Insurers usually ask for identity documents, residency details, health information, and the reason for the coverage.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Identification and immigration documents<\/strong> the carrier accepts. The list varies by insurer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Residency history and current address.<\/strong> The insurer decides which jurisdictions it will write.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Health questions.<\/strong> Health questions are required. An exam may be requested. Issue depends on insurability.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Financial information and purpose,<\/strong> such as income replacement or business protection.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Beneficiary details,<\/strong> including a beneficiary who lives outside the US. Insurers may handle these differently.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Florida law also requires the insured to apply for or consent in writing to the contract and its terms. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.leg.state.fl.us\/statutes\/index.cfm?App_mode=Display_Statute&amp;URL=0600-0699\/0627\/Sections\/0627.404.html\">Fla.

Tax effects depend on the facts, so raise these questions early.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Death benefit tax treatment.<\/strong> Under <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/26\/101\">IRC \u00a7 101<\/a>, gross income does not include amounts received under a life insurance contract if those amounts are paid by reason of the death of the insured, except as otherwise provided in that section. Exceptions apply, such as the transfer-for-value rule. Interest on proceeds held by the insurer may be taxable.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Estate inclusion.<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/26\/2042\">IRC \u00a7 2042<\/a> says the value of the gross estate includes the amount the executor receives as insurance under policies on the decedent&#8217;s life. It also includes the amount all other beneficiaries receive as insurance under such policies, if the decedent held at death any of the incidents of ownership, exercisable either alone or in conjunction with any other person. Whether this applies depends on the policy, the applicable rules and the individual&#8217;s circumstances, and this is general information, not tax advice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Premium deductibility.<\/strong> In business settings, this depends on the business structure and the facts.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Ownership and beneficiary.<\/strong> Who owns the policy and who is named affects control and payout.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Foreign beneficiary or address.<\/strong> A non-US beneficiary or foreign address may change insurer requirements or payment steps.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Any death benefit payment depends on the policy terms and the insurer&#8217;s review.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"cta-dose-mid wp-block-group has-base-color has-accent-background-color has-text-color has-background has-global-padding is-layout-constrained wp-container-core-group-is-layout-32197852 wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\" style=\"background-color:var(--wp--preset--color--accent,#20242e);color:var(--wp--preset--color--base,#ffffff);border-radius:8px;padding-top:1.5rem;padding-bottom:1.5rem;padding-left:1.5rem;padding-right:1.5rem;border-left:6px solid var(--wp--preset--color--cta,currentColor);box-shadow:0 2px 10px rgba(0,0,0,0.18)\">\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading has-base-color has-text-color\">Want to know where you stand?<\/h3><p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tell us about your situation and our team will walk you through the options available to you.<\/p><div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-layout-flex wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\"><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-call\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"tel:+13058723096\">Request a coverage review<\/a><\/div><div class=\"wp-block-button chg-cta-form\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/nrcpas.com\/contact\">Request a coverage review<\/a><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h2>Why NR CPAs &amp; Business Advisors<\/h2>\n<p>NR CPAs &amp; Business Advisors is a Miami CPA firm.
