Management
Policy management keeps insurance information current as a person’s family, finances, and needs change. It includes understanding the policy in force and checking whether its purpose still matches the owner’s priorities.
What to review
A review can check the policy owner and insured person, beneficiaries, coverage amount, premium schedule, guarantees, and any loans or withdrawals. Major life events are also a reason to confirm that beneficiary choices and contact information are current.
Be careful when replacing a policy
A new policy may involve fresh underwriting, new costs, surrender charges, different guarantees, or a new contestability period. The existing policy should generally remain in force until replacement coverage is approved and active, if replacement is appropriate. Compare the full terms and consult qualified professionals about tax or legal questions.
