Endowment Policy

In a joint endowment policy, I would like to know if you can remove one of the policyholders and replace it by adding a new policyholder during the endowment policy?

    When my ex and I separated, 15 years ago, I bought his part of the endowment policy. The company (L&G) issued a substitution policy in my sole name.
    We had only held it for a year and I was advised it was worthwhile to do this :rolleyes: Now that it has a predicted £15K shortfall, I'm rather wishing I hadn't bothered, but hey ho.

    Yes ownership can be (re)assigned - otherwise there would be no way you could sell the policies.
    Trying to keep it simple...;)

    policyholder ( the person or persons who receive the money on death or maturity) can be changed ... or did you mean the life assured changed from one life to the other ?
