The folks we see are pretty much clueless about insurance. The are counting on us to help them make the right choice. Of course we can be wrong. Nothing wrong with making an error, but I believe it is intentionally wrong to advise a person to give up a policy that is out of contestability in favor of a new ROP policy.
I suppose it is a matter of opinion and this is mine.
If an agent fully explains and they (the client) understand the risks in replacing a policy that is out of contestability for one with ROP, it is still a terrible idea to be the agent on that one. It's a lawsuit waiting to happen.
Don't do it, TDF!!!!
