MWPA For Life Insurance | Personal finance | Sarthak Ahuja

Rewrite #shorts #LifeInsurance
Did you know that if you pass away with amounts owed to creditors and heavy loans outstanding, the proceeds from your life insurance policy will legally first go to the lenders, and only the balance (if any left) will reach your family.
Thus, if you are a married man who has substantial loans or creditors as part of your business (or housing loans, etc as a salaried employee), please do tell your insurance provider to cover your policy under Section 6 of the Married Women’s Property Act (MWPA) 1874 at the time of purchase of such term insurance.
This coverage under MWPA ensures that your wife and children are beneficiaries of the term insurance, and no other creditor can claim this money (Parents cannot be made beneficiaries). This coverage cannot be made after purchase of the policy and has to be declared at the time of purchase.
Note:
1. Banks require you to take life insurance at the time of taking a housing loan. Banks would not approve your policy if covered under the MWPA because it does not serve their purpose.
2. If the life insurance is other than a term insurance where an amount is to be received on maturity, the amount received will also go to the wife and children and not be available to the man himself (even if married or divorced).
