MWP Act – Married Women’s Property Act 1874- INSURANCE TERM PLAN

Insurance-Policy-with-MWP

One interesting & great legal tool in hand, but hardly been pushed by anyone.

What it means; at the time of initiating (buying) a term insurance policy, one should also sign this document. This document legally ensures that, post the policy holders demise, only wife will receive the policy cover value and not the creditors (policy holders outstanding with others) or relatives.

We take Term-Plan, to ensure the well-being of our family, specifically wife and children in case of any unforeseen events. Therefore, ensure that you sign this document.

Once a policy is availed under the MWP Act, it may not be attached by courts for repayment of your debts. Only your wife and children will be entitled to the Sum Assured in the event of your demise.
