It is theoretically possible to purchase life insurance on any family member. However, depending upon the person's age, the insurer might require a medicla exam. If that exam shows previous tendencies toward suicide, many insurers will delcien to insure, or charge very high rates. In Missouri, you generally cannot collect on a life insurance policy whre there has been a suicide son after the insurance is purchased. In that case, you would be paying premiums on future coverage. Good luck
