This may sound cold

But I was wondering how would one go about taking out life insurance on a relative.I know this may sound cold , but its like taking out insurance on your child,no worse. My mother in-law is about 65 now she has her own insurance but would it be possible to get a life insurance policy on her also.I wanted to get one on my dad, but the best i could remember was they wanted his social security number and I did not know it. I also did not know how to go about getting it without him knowing what i was doing.He wanted so bad to leave us something but his second wife got it all then when she died it went to HER kids.We got nothing! So thats what happens most of the time if there is no will .Sometimes if there is one people fight over things, I would just as soon make and pay for in premiums my own inheritance.Does sounds bad.
