It depends on the language in the contract and the type of insurance, but generally the answer would be yes in most states. For example, automobile liability insurance policies are generally able to be cancelled anytime by the insured. You don't have to wait for your policy to come up for renewal before switching to another insurance company, for example.

Can insurance cancel your insurance after they have taken payment?

An insurance company can cancel your coverage for any number of reasons, all of which would need to be laid out in the policy (contract) that you signed with them upfront.

Yes, it happens all the time. The homeowner can cancel the policy at any time or the company might cancel for various reasons outlined in the policy (insurance contract) you signed. Either party, the insured, or the company, could cancel the policy, However if it is a choice of the homeowner, it would be best to maintain the policy as is untill the claim is resolved.

How can you cancel a life insurance policy on you if there is no more insurable interest but you are not the owner of the policy?

Under insurance law, the contract owner has all the "rights." So, I know of no way to cancel the contract w/o the owner's consent. However, you may wish to contact your state insurance department and/or the insurance company just to be sure. Alternately, you might offer to purchase the contract from the current owner, as is often done with business insurance "buy-sell" arrangements. Best of luck . rjBeeg rbeeg@optonline.net
