Can I transfer my life insurance policy to another person?

Asked 3 years ago
Generally, the possibility of transferring a life insurance policy to another person depends on the specific terms and conditions set forth by the insurance provider, such as Sun Life Direct. In many cases, transferring ownership of a life insurance policy can be done through a process known as an assignment. This usually involves completing paperwork that officially designates the new owner of the policy. It is important to note that both the original policyholder and the new owner may need to agree to the transfer. Furthermore, the individual being considered for the transfer may need to meet certain eligibility requirements, and the insurance company may evaluate the transaction to ensure it aligns with their policies. While certain types of policies may allow for a straightforward transfer, others may have stipulations or might limit transfer options. For precise information regarding the transfer process and any specific requirements, it is advisable to refer to the relevant section on Sun Life Direct's official website. There you may find contact information to help guide your inquiries further.
