Waiver of Restoration Premium

A waiver of restoration premium is a provision in a life insurance policy that allows the policyholder to waive the payment of premiums in the event of a disability. This can be a valuable benefit for policyholders who become disabled and are unable to work, as it can help them to keep their life insurance coverage in place.

There are a few things to keep in mind when considering a waiver of restoration premium provision. First, it is important to understand that the waiver will only apply if the policyholder becomes totally disabled and is unable to work for a certain period of time. Second, the waiver will typically only last for a certain number of years, after which the policyholder will be responsible for paying premiums again. Third, the waiver may only apply to a portion of the policyholder's premium, and the policyholder may still be responsible for paying the remaining premiums.

Before deciding whether to include a waiver of restoration premium provision in your life insurance policy, it is important to speak to your financial advisor to understand the full implications of this provision.
