Life insurance lapse generally refers to coverage ending for insufficient or nonpayment of policy premiums. If premiums are not paid during the grace period to sustain the policy, then the life insurance ends. The lapse of a life insurance policy at the wrong time could have disastrous consequences for persons or families because policyholders could easily lose their life insurance if a single premium is accidentally missed, even if they have been paying premiums on time for years. On January 1, 2013, California added new sections 10113.71 and 10113.72 to the Insurance Code, as a way of providing consumer safeguards against life insurance policy lapse.

San Francisco, Calif.

What Types of Claims Apply The statute applies not only to a claimant under a property and casualty insurance policy or underinsured motorist policy if the insurer is authorized to do business in California, but also to a beneficiary under any life insurance policy, a payment to an annuitant, and...

Vancouver News | Local Breaking | CTV News Vancouver Are you paying too much for life insurance? VANCOUVER -- Beware of paying too much for life insurance. According to PolicyMe, an online insurance platform, a recent survey found Canadians are overpaying for life insurance by as much as 36 per cent.

by Staff Blogger | August 15th, 2016 Nobody likes a price increase, especially for the same exact product you were paying less for before. In recent years, some large companies have gotten some pretty bad press for increasing their subscription rates with little notice. Though most of the time it only amounts to a few more dollars per month, it’s the principle of the thing. Unfortunately, some life insurance companies are attempting the same thing, but their increases are much more significant, putting customers who have paid premiums for years at risk of losing their policy. Here’s how it works. You buy a life insurance policy to ensure your family is taken care of in the event of your...

People mistakenly think that because life insurance with a proper beneficiary designation form avoids probate court, no further planning is needed. Probate, however, isn’t the only problem; protection from creditors and from the IRS is critical as well. People with taxable estates, meaning assets more than their available Exemption, should consider creating a Life Insurance Trust for their life insurance. A properly drafted and administered Life Insurance Trust, sometimes called an “ILIT” for short, will remove the life insurance proceeds from the insured’s estate so that the proceeds are not subject to estate tax when the insured dies. The ILIT will have its own...
