Can someone take money from a bank account with account number and routing number?
Taking out a life insurance policy on another person without their knowledge or explicit consent is generally illegal and prohibited by insurance regulations designed to prevent fraudulent schemes and insuring against uninsurable risks. Legitimate insurance providers require the proposed insured individual to sign application documents, undergo medical underwriting or health questionnaires in many cases, and prove an insurable interest—meaning they would suffer genuine financial loss upon your death. While rogue individuals occasionally attempt fraudulent applications by forging signatures or lying about relationships, strict compliance checks, identity verification protocols, and background underwriting steps make it exceedingly difficult to successfully sustain an unauthorized policy.
