Incontestability clause

Clause in a life insurance contract preventing the insurer from revoking the policy after it has been in force for a year or two. If the life insurance company discovers any important facts that the policyholder may have concealed, such as experiencing a stroke, within that period, the insurer could revoke the policy.

Incontestability Clause

A provision in some life insurance policies preventing the insurance company from canceling a policy after a certain period of time, usually one or two years. An incontestability clause protects the policyholder from being dropped if he/she develops an illness or health problem that is likely to shorten his/her life, which would be detrimental to the insurance company.
