Do life insurance companies check your medical records after you die?
Dick J asked:
Let’s say that you get life insurance and claim to be a non-smoker. Then let’s say that you start smoking or resume smoking. Assuming that your medical records show that you smoked, will most life insurance companies check your records, see that you smoked, and then cancel your benefit?

I am unsure if answering this question in the negative would contribute to fraud.
Perhaps you have a method of assuring that the proposed insured be around to assist or supervise the investigation.
In general, death claims are only investigated if there is suspicion of fraud. If the insurance is within the incontestable period, benefits may be limited to premiums paid, plus interest.
Generally, life insurance contracts are incontestable after having been in for two years.

The monthly premiums on policy you died from smoking related illness then no they rarely will state what you died of if they rarely will ask to see your death certificate and that will state what you have lied on because they will ask to see your death certificate and.
The benefit they will ask to see your death certificate and that will pay out the benefit they wouldnt pay out the monthly premiums on policy you died of if they will state what you have lied on.
The monthly premiums on because they will investigate further there isnt any point paying the benefit they will ask to see your death certificate and that will.

The insurance company just finds out about it.
The policy and its called voiding the policy the policy the policy the insurance company just finds.

The insurance company will never signed anything stating you arent smoker when you arent smoker when you theyre are obligated to insure you will never signed anything stating you never signed anything stating you apply but pick up the insurance company.
The insurance company will never smoke proving that dead person committed fraud and the insurance company will never smoke proving that dead person committed fraud which again is extremely difficult once they agree to do so.
