Sample questions & answers
1. The provision that gives a life policyowner additional time after the premium due date to pay before the policy lapses is the:
Grace period
The grace period allows the owner extra time after the due date to pay a premium before the policy lapses.
2. The free-look provision in a life insurance policy allows the policyowner to:
Return the policy within 10 days of receipt for a full refund
In New Hampshire, Ins 401.05(f) requires a face-page provision allowing the policy to be returned within 10 days after receipt, voiding it from the beginning and refunding any premium.
3. Once a New Hampshire life policy has been in force for 2 years during the insured's lifetime, the incontestability clause generally prevents the insurer from:
Contesting it over misstatements in the application
RSA 408:13, IV and Ins 401.05(a)(8) make the policy incontestable after 2 years; New Hampshire's exceptions are nonpayment of premium, wartime military service violations, and (at the insurer's option) disability and accidental death provisions, with no general fraud exception listed.
4. To reinstate a lapsed life insurance policy, the insurer typically requires:
Payment of back premiums with interest and evidence of insurability
Under Ins 401.05(d), a New Hampshire permanent policy must be reinstatable within 3 years of default upon evidence of insurability and payment of overdue premiums (with interest of up to 8 percent) and outstanding loans.
