Answer Yes. The question is not how many policies you have, but the total amount compared to your needs . You can also have different policies from different companies. There are times when the insurance company might question your motives for taking out multiple policies, especially if your current financial situation does not support the need for that much coverage.
There is no bar in having more than one life insurance policy. The policies may varie from endowment, whole life or unit linked insurance policy as per your choice and requirement.
Actually, whole life insurance policy other than endowment,single premia or ulip policy can be called ordinary life insurance policy.
Yes, all life insurance companies allow the policy owner to name more than one beneficiary at any time.
A life settlement is a financial transaction in which the owner of a life insurance policy sells an unneeded policy to a third party for more than its cash value and less than its face value. Until recently, if a policyowner opted out of a policy by surrendering the policy or allowing it to lapse, the additional value was relinquished back to the issuing life insurance company.
Yes, monthly payments are more for a 20 year term life insurance policy than for a 10 year policy. This is usually the case for all forms of insurance since the insurance company is in effect taking on more risk by insuring you for a longer period of time when injury and health problems could arise.
A level term insurance policy can be less expensive than other types of life insurance. However, the longer the term, the more expensive the premium will be.
The person, company or trust that is specified under "Beneficiaries" section in the insurance policy will receive the life insurance benefits. If the beneficiaries are more than one, the benefit is split according to policy details, or policy schedule pages.
If there are more than one claimant in a life insurance policy, all of them are to make claim for the pay out.
The main advantage of a life insurance settlement is that instead of a life insurance "surrender", (which sometimes happens if the owner can no longer afford the premiums),the owner of the policy can sell the policy to a third party and in turn receive "some" money from it. The person selling will definitely get less than the policy is worth, but more than if they completely gave it up.
You can not insure a vehicle for more than its value so more than one insurance policy would be a waste of money.
Yes, you can have multiple primary beneficiaries, and contingent beneficiaries.
The answer is yes to both of your questions.
