You are absolutely correct-if the kids stand to inherit a nice sum, get the kids to pay your premiums. Well, we pay our own as our children are still younger professionals, but my husband is a CPA and always says the kids should pay it. Theoretically....If you have older kids, you stand a better chance of being successful on that request!
