What is a period of contestability on a life insurance policy?
A period of contestability is specified as a rider to a
life insurance policy. It limits the amount of time that
the company has to contest the basis on which they
issued the policy. If you provide inaccurate
information, in other words, the company has a limited
time period to contest it and cancel the policy because
of it.
