Yes, you will be covered if you bought your life insurance policy based on non-tobacco user rates and then started smoking after you bought the policy.

Also, the carrier has two years after you purchase to contest the policy.

After that period, you may be covered either way.

However, some carriers may reduce the total payout by deducting the difference in preiums they would have charged for a smoker, from the policy coverage amount paid to your beneficiary.

Also, if you die within 2 years of buying the policy, and said you didn't smoke, and the smoking was the cause of your death, that may be considered material misrepresentation, and the insurer may be able to dispute the payout of your policy.

Insurance is very important. You want to know that you are getting what you are paying for and that you and your family are covered. I would start by looking up the ratings to the companys as well as asking friends and family what they have heard.

Is it legal to have gap insurance?

Yes, if you're talking about having a break in your insurance payments. Some (but not all) companies offer a 'free' period of insurance - but it's covered by an increased monthly premium - so you're not actually getting anything for free. During the 'break' period, you're still covered by the policy you're paying for.


How long before I am covered by my husband's insurance after we get married?

As soon as you can get listed on the policy and begin paying the premium, you can be covered. If this is a group plan with his job, you may have to wait until open enrollment so you can be listed on the plan and your premium can be collected. If this is an individual plan on his own, call the insurance company phone number on the insurance card to be added to the plan.


Does basic motorcycle insurance cover theft?

"Basic" is vague. Generally speaking, there are two main categories of insurance: liability (which covers other people) and comprehensive (which covers your vehicle). If you have liability insurance only, it most likely won't cover theft of your motorcycle. You should talk to your insurance agent to be sure that what you want covered is covered, and that you're not paying for coverage you don't want (and aren't legally obligated to have).
