A standard life insurance policy usually contains a provision stating that death that is the result of suicide will not be covered if it occurs within a stated period of time after the issuance of the policy. The period of time varies, but it is frequently two years.
The reasoning for this provision is that insurance is intended to cover fortuitous occurrences, not ones that are planned or intended.
NOTE= Commiting suicide is never the answer to a problem.

Most, if not all, life insurance policies have an exclusion that states that the policy will not pay if the death is ruled a suicide.

Most life insurance policies have a two year suicide clause that states that the policy will not pay for death by suicide if it occurs within 24 months from the date the application was issued.

Suicide is usually excluded under a life insurance policy. The suicide exclusion usually states that there is no payout of life insurance proceeds if the death is due to suicide within two years of the puchase of the life insurance policy. In some states, like Colorado, the suicide exclusion is one year.
Yes. Most life insurance policies have a "suicide clause" that allows death benefits to be paid out on a suicide after the policy has been in effect for two years.
