GENERALLY, when an insurance policyholder defaults in the payment of an insurance premium, his policy might lapse or may be canceled by the insurance company. But if the nonpayment is only accidental, for instance the insured meant to pay but had only forgotten to do so, the insured may take advantage of the grace period (usually 30 days), which is provided in most policies. As such, the policy need not lapse. Other types of life insurance policies also give out dividends, which can also be used to offset unpaid premium payment. There are policies as well that are equipped with riders, which allow waivers of premium payments in case of disability or unemployment. However, there are cases...

Life insurance is the order of the day. Naturally, people will be taking a fresh look at their succession planning and wealth protection in the midst of a global health crisis, but these policies are essential regardless of the situation. First and foremost, it must be made clear that the segment goes beyond protecting against the risk of death. Life insurance includes products covering other adversity, even comprising benefits and the option of redeemable life insurance. The products also involve guarantees concerning retirement and family protection coverage, which are vital in the event of death, disability, serious illnesses and other situations. Behind all of this, and beyond...

Having life insurance through work is a real perk to the job. It provides you with some coverage that helps to protect your family when you are no longer around to support them. Yet, you shouldn’t just rely on your work-provided life coverage to safeguard your family’s finances. Taking out your own third-party life insurance is essential. Here’s why. Your work’s life insurance policy is probably not enough. Group life insurance is broad and there’s no opportunity to customize your policy to your own needs. While your employer may offer you one or two times your salary, your family may need four or five times your income to get by financially. If you have sizeable debt, a family to support,...

At common law, in the absence of a fraud clause in the insurance policy, fraud can only be relied upon to the extent to which it prejudices the insurer. If an element of the claim is fraudulent only the fraudulent portion of the claim is forfeited at common law. There is no implied term in our law that a fraudulently exaggerated loss results in forfeiture of all claims under the policy. Nor are claims forfeited where fraudulent means are used to obtain a benefit to which the insured is entitled under the policy. See for example Schoeman v Constantia Insurance Co Ltd and Videtsky v Liberty Life Insurance Association Ltd. Appropriately worded fraud clauses can be successfully used to deny...

The unexpected death of a parent can take an emotional and financial toll on your family. If your parents have assets to protect or you’re not sure whether they can cover their debts and medical expenses as they age, you might consider taking out a life insurance policy on them. It’s possible — under a few conditions. Can you actually buy life insurance for your parents? Yes — but you’ll need to do 2 things: Demonstrate an “insurable interest.” If you can prove that you’ll suffer financially when your parents die, your insurer will be more likely to underwrite a policy. Since debt and final expenses are often passed on to the next of kin, family members...
