Replacing an Existing Life Insurance Policy

Chances are good that you will find a better deal today for a term life insurance policy than the one you got ten years ago. Prices are at all-time lows among insurance carriers vying for your business. At Cheapest Life Insurance we encourage those with existing policies to shop around.

However, our encouragement comes with a disclaimer. First, NEVER cancel an existing policy while you are searching for a better life insurance deal. This can be tempting if your premiums are high, but there is no limit on the number of life insurance policies you can have in effect at once. The important thing is that you are covered. So, until you are sure your new policy is in effect you should not cancel an existing plan.

With that said, you may want to seriously consider replacing an existing life insurance policy even though you’ve gotten older since you first purchased your original policy. You may have a high policy premium because of a low health rating. Remember, life insurance companies vary on their underwriting criteria; therefore you may save by switching to a different company. Also, if your health has improved, if you’ve made lifestyle changes that no longer make you high risk, lost weight, controlled your blood pressure, or quit smoking since you took out your original policy you may be eligible for a lower premium. Applying for a new policy at your new healthy condition may result in considerable savings.
