Can I add a spouse or partner to my life insurance policy?

Asked 5 months ago
Yes, it is often possible to add a spouse or partner to a life insurance policy, depending on the specific terms and conditions set forth by Sun Life Direct. Typically, this can be done through a rider or an endorsement, which allows additional coverage for the spouse or partner under the same policy. However, the availability of this option may vary based on the type of life insurance policy you currently hold, as well as the underwriting guidelines of Sun Life Direct. It is important to note that adding a spouse or partner may lead to a change in the premium amount. This could reflect the additional risk assessment based on the new insured party's health and age. Therefore, it is advisable to review any implications this may have on your existing coverage. For the most accurate information regarding this process, it is recommended to refer to the official website of Sun Life Direct or to check the specific policy documents. This will provide detailed guidance on policy modifications and the options available to you.
