Personally I don't see the point. The whole idea of life insurance is to make sure your dependents are taken care of in the event of death, cover funeral costs, cover debts (ie mortgage), not as an inheritance for grand children. If she wants to help out with school or whatever why not just set up a fund instead of paying insurance premiums?
