Incontestability clause

A Provision in a life Insurance policy that prevents the Insurer from revoking Coverage because of alleged misstatements by the Insured after a specified period, usually about two years. Of course, this is not a license to commit fraud, and the discovery of Fraud will lead the company to contest any claims and possibly pursue criminal Charge.
