I'm guessing Russians need to brush up on their knowledge of suicide laws over here.
First rule if you're going to commit suicide for life insurance: don't leave a note saying so.
Yup, also almost all insurance policies have anti suicide clauses in them.
FYI the standard time limit for a suicide exclusion is two years after the policy start date. This is a matter of state law
If you've held the policy longer than two years, the policy pays out. There's nothing illegal about it
It's an NAIC model law that was adopted by the majority of states, which means insurance companies usually build it into their contracts
Thanks. Interesting. Still hard to believe a suicide would 1. want to mention it and 2. risk complicating claims filing for beneficiary.
Very interested facts, indeed. I'd also be curious to know if having a documented psychiatric history (or not) factors into their decisions.
It might be a factor in the underwriting phase where someone with a serious history of suicidal depression would have their app denied
But once the policy is issued my impression is the two-year exclusion period is itself considered sufficient
