what do you mean by 'add or remove'? are you talking about the beneficiary? Or you are talking about the insurance policy premiums?
Just explain further about it.... :wink:

I know you can change the Benficiary on your Life Insurance policy whenever you want to. I don't know about the ACTUAL 'coverage' you have on it, however.

You can always cancel a policy at any time. You can usually decrease the face amount at any time as long as you don't go below the policy minimums. Increasing the face amount usually requires evidence of insurability.

With some carriers, you can only decrease the face amount one time. Prudential is the only major carrier I can think of that will let you decrease it as many times as you want.

yes in order to increase the face value of the policy one does need to go through medical checkup again and even the premium rates will also be applicable as per considering the new age.
Change in agreement between person and the company can be done with the consent of both the parties. :wink:

Great Dgoldenz,
Prudential is our family carrier right now, I think it's possible to decrease the face value.

To 'decrease' the coverage you may have, don't you have to actually start another policy? I mean each policy is 'specific' with it's own coverage. I hope my question was clear.

No....you can decrease the coverage one time with most carriers. As stated, Prudential will let you decrease it as many times as you want. However, once it has been decreased you would have to apply for a new policy or show evidence of insurability to increase it even back to the original level.

Hey Dgoldenz, is it possible to decrease the coverage level with every type of insurance plans? I thought this option is only available with the decreasing term life plans.

Generally you cannot add or remove life insurance. yes you can add/remove riders because of which your premium will change. In some policies you have option of reducing face value. It depends on what policy you have opted for. Any ways if its a long term policy then i suggest you should continue. taking new policy or reducing face value will reduce monetary benefits.
