vicious96, think of it this way. If he wanted to he could always cancel the policy outright couldn't he? No one would have the right to stop him, nor should they. What you may or may not get in the event of a claim is not relevant.
If you want to ensure that your interests are protected, you could take a policy out on him and pay the premiums for it as has been suggested above.
Actually depending on the individual circumstances, life insurance is about the best "bang for your buck" insurance you can get. Even a very small monthly premium can secure a substantial level of cover. I wasn't being kidding when I said you could consider taking out a policy on him - it 's legitimately a good idea and you might be surprised how much cover you can get for a modest premium.

That's certainly a good idea. But then again, she'd need to discuss it with her husband. Her husband should see the reason how in order to do justice with one child he might just end up doing injustice with his other children.

sure anon, ideally there would be plenty of clear and open communication going one to makes sure everyones motives were clearly established.
Marriage and relationships are about more than just money and financial security, but sometimes those things tend to dominate other concerns!

One comment about Texas (or any other community property state) and community property and life insurance.
No community property state laws prevent the owner of life insurance from naming any one or any thing as their beneficiary. Retirement accounts (IRAs, 401(k)s, defined benefit plans, etc) are the subject of federal law, not state law, and different rules apply.
If your proposition were true, the married business owner who takes a policy on his business partner would have to make his own wife the beneficiary, instead of himself or his business. This is absurd.
Enough said.
All other posts indicating the potential need for additional insurance are probably be correct. If the husband won't apply for it in his own right, the wife, with his cooperation, may do so in hers. In Texas or anywhere else in the world.

You don't describe the manner in which your husband's business is operated -- sole-proprietor, partnership, LLC, corporation, etc.
If a sole-proprietorship, the rights to the business pass to a spouse under most circumstances. That means you would also inherit the debts and other liabilities -- such as unpaid taxes and/or wages -- of the business as well.
There could be other business succession plans in place that could alter this. Have you not discussed this with your husband? This could be a situation in which a life insurance policy might be an appropriate and necessary planning tool.

I am married my husband keeps all the finances to himself, I don't know what we have, I don't know what will happen in future. He controls everything. When I try to find out anything he gets mad most of the time the car is on empty and I have to ask for gas money. I feel like I am drifting in a sea of doom.
