All the companies we contacted stated flatly that after a long period of time, such as 10 years, they would pay the claim. Once your policy is this far past the two-year contestability period, linking your death to smoking is less important to them than not reneging on a death claim.
In final analysis, it is better not to die .. er .. lie. |
The truth is, after 10 years no company will care. They've made their money from you, they won't care about paying out the claim.
