Current through Register Vol. 47, No. 11, December 11, 2024
Rule 191-15.9 - Right to return a life insurance policy or annuity (free look)

The owner of an individual policy has the right, within ten days after receipt of a life insurance policy or annuity, to a free-look period. During this period, the policyowner may return the life insurance policy or annuity to the insurer at its home office, branch office, or to the producer through whom it was purchased. If so returned, the premium paid will be promptly refunded, the policy or annuity voided and the parties returned to the same position as if a policy or annuity had not been issued. If the transaction involved a replacement, the length of the free-look period will be determined according to 191-Chapter 16.

If the transaction involved a variable product, the amount to be refunded shall be determined according to the policy language. The calculations must comply with the relevant rule in either 191-Chapter 16, Replacement of Life Insurance and Annuities, or 191-Chapter 33, Variable Life Insurance Model Regulation.
