West Coast Life Conversions and End of Level Term Policy Options
Life insurance companies would like nothing better than for you to let your conversion privilege expire unused. A conversion privilege allows you to exchange your term policy for a universal life policy without having to go through medical underwriting again!
Why would that be valuable to you?
If you developed a high-risk health condition since buying your policy, you can continue coverage by converting the policy as long as your conversion privilege hasn’t expired.
But, what if you don’t need the coverage anymore??
It may still be worth a look as you may have the ability to sell your policy via a life settlement that can put cash in your pocket.
As appointed agents for West Coast Life and Protective Life Insurance Company, we are able to show you the types of life insurance available for conversion before your level term life policy ends.
There’s no charge for us to put together your conversion options for you, in fact the insurance company will pay us to help you with this.
What Happened to West Coast Life Insurance Company?
West Coast Life has been a subsidiary of Protective Life Insurance Company for many years and consolidation in the life insurance industry is common.
A few years ago Protective Life decided to rebrand and move forward only offering the Protective Life Insurance Company brand.
Should I Replace My West Coast Life Insurance Policy?
There is no reason to change insurance companies simply because of the consolidation of the companies.
If your current policy with West Coast Life meets your needs, there’s no reason to trade it in for a new policy.
Remember that any new policy will be based on your current age, health, paramedical exam results, and medical records.
If you’ve had a change in health since the original policy was taken out, buying new insurance may not be a good strategy.
What Should I Do If My West Coast Life Term Period is Ending?
