To PREVENT ALL FUTURE QUESTIONS AS ID THE VALIDITY OF POLI.
CIES, this Company are prohibited by their deed of constitution from
disputing any claim, unless they take upon themselves to prove that
the policy upon which the claim arises was obtained by fraudulent
misrepresentation.
The Company are further bound to give effect to every policy,
although the debt for which it may have been originally procured,
or at any time held, may have been paid off before the claim arises.
And that the value of policies may not be lessened or destroyed
by parties going beyond the limits usually prescribed, the Company
grant, upon payment of a small extra premium, general or whole
world leave, which subsists during the currency of the policy.
By these means the policies of the London, Edinburgh, and
Dublin Life Company have come to be considered as forming secu.
rities more complete and more easily negotiable than any other
similar documents.
Assurances are granted either with or without participation in
profits, and the utmost facility is given in regard to the payment of
the premiums, by the assured having the option of pa; ment by a
progressive ascending scale, or according to the half premium
system, continued for seven years.
Prospectuses and schedules are forwarded to applicants, free of
expense, by the Manager and Agents.
