7. Know the beginning and the end of the policy, amount and maturity date of the premium, the grace period (grace period), and the recovery policy (reinstatement period). If your policy is term insurance, learn whether there is a clause changes (conversion) where you can turn it into a permanent policy without evidence of additional insurabilitas. If there is, know how long it may be enforced and what the conditions.
