If you own a life insurance policy you want to make sure your life insurance company will pay out any claim on your policy should you die.

But, there are several instances where a life insurance policy will not pay out a claim.

1. If your policy has expired, and you no longer have coverage.

2. If your policy has lapsed due to non-payment of premium.

3. If your policy excludes death due to your cause of death, such as, killed in a war.

4. If you lied on the application for life insurance, and the lie was a material misrepresentation directly related to your cause of death, within the first 2 years you are insured by the policy. This would provide for the contestability of your life insurance and the insurer may be able to deny coverage.
