No. A life insurance company can only void a policy if there was material misrepresentation. A material misrepresentation refers to a misstatement on an application for insurance, of a material fact that. A material fact refers to a fact that, had the insurer known the truth, the insurer would either have refused to issue the policy, or would have issued it in a different amount or on different terms.

Usually, once a life insurance policy has been in force for 2 years, the "incontestability clause" prevents the insurer from relying upon a misrepresentation to rescind (void) the policy. Therefore, once the 2 year period passes, the insurer is liable on the policy even if the ultimate cause of death is cancer. That, of course, presumes that the policy is in force at the time of death.

Getting life insurance after cancer?

There are some life insurance companies that may offer life insurance for cancer survivors. One way to find out is to contact a life insurance agent in your area (yellow pages) and ask if they have a contract with a firm that offers life insurance for cancer survivors. Also, there are guaranteed acceptance life insurance plans available from some carriers for people age 45-74, but the coverage is usually limited to $20,000.
