Sample questions & answers

1. The grace period provision in a life insurance policy:

Allows a late premium to be paid without lapse for a stated number of days

The grace period lets the policyowner pay an overdue premium within a stated number of days while keeping coverage in force.

2. After a life policy has been in force for the contestable period (commonly two years), the insurer generally:

Cannot contest the policy except for nonpayment of premium or certain fraud

Once the incontestability period passes, the insurer generally cannot contest the policy except for limited reasons such as nonpayment.

3. Under a typical suicide clause, if the insured dies by suicide within the stated period, the insurer will generally:

Refund the premiums paid rather than the full death benefit

During the suicide exclusion period the insurer typically refunds premiums paid instead of paying the full death benefit.

4. To reinstate a lapsed life insurance policy, the owner generally must:

Pay back premiums with interest and show evidence of insurability

Reinstatement typically requires payment of overdue premiums with interest and proof of insurability within the allowed period.
