What You Need to Know Before Changing Your Life Insurance Policy: Warning Signs

By Bobbie Sage, About.com

Besides reviewing the list of considerations to know before changing your life insurance policy, it is important to know the warning signs of agents you want to stay away from. Avoid any agent who:

  • Warns you not to tell your current insurer and/or relatives that you are thinking about changing policies

  • Tries to get you to sign forms that are not complete or you don't understand

  • Insists that using the cash value from your current policy to pay for the premiums on a new policy would offer an unbelievably huge advantage to you

  • Criticizes other agents and companies
