Can I Buy A Life Insurance Policy On My Brother? 
Great question ! Insurance companies will only write a policy when it can be demonstrated that there will be a loss to you , should the insured pass away . So you could n't write a policy on the guy you met at the office , unless you could prove that you would lose income or assets if he were to pass away . The same would apply to your brother . Unless you can prove a monetary loss , it might be really hard to find a company that will issue a policy . The best way to do it ? Like Ms. Mace suggests , have your brother get his own policy , and you make the payments for it . If you need help doing that , please feel free to contact me , I 'm glad to help . Thanks for asking !
