What is the usual free look period provided in a life insurance policy?

The standard free look period for most life insurance policies in South Carolina is typically 10 days. This period allows policyholders to review the terms of the policy after they receive it and decide whether they want to continue or cancel the policy for a full refund of any premiums paid. This provision is designed to protect consumers by giving them sufficient time to evaluate their purchase and ensure that it meets their needs and expectations.

Longer free look periods, such as 31, 45, or 60 days, are less common in the context of life insurance and are generally not mandated by South Carolina law. Therefore, the 10-day period generally stands as the accepted norm in the insurance industry for life policies.
