When should I cancel my life insurance policy?

Whether you are canceling because you could not find affordable Assurity life insurance rates or because you weren’t happy with customer service, choosing the right time to cancel is important.

This will be determined by you and your agent or customer service team. If you intend to buy Assurity life insurance in another form or valuation, timing your current policy to end and the new policy to start simultaneously might be feasible.

However, if you do not continue the relationship with the Assurity life insurance company but have a policy elsewhere, the timing should be coordinated with both companies. This will ensure you don’t lose any premium valuation by paying for two policies.

Additionally, cash-out rules could apply that might need to be considered in the timing of your cancellation.

Finally, remember that, unless independently wealthy, you want to ensure you don’t allow a lapse in coverage to occur or risk not being covered during a fatal event.

Do I get a refund if I cancel my life insurance?

Most term life insurance policies will not qualify for a premium refund unless you prepaid for a certain amount of time. Other insurance types might have a cash-out, surrender, or sale value.

Therefore, knowing exactly what type of policy you purchased will determine your cancellation rights and the refund policy attached.

If you’re not happy with your Assurity life insurance quotes, here’s what you need to know to cancel: First, know what type of policy you have. If you don’t remember, you should be able to check your policy itself or contact the company to ask.

Second, know the best timing for the cancellation to maximize coverage without double paying premiums on multiple policies.
