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. Death benefits will be paid if it is after that time period. If the suicide occurs during the suicide clause the insurance company will return the premium paid in full plus interest.
Most life insurance policies do not pay out for suicide.

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.
Suicide and life insurance isn't regulated by state law, it is regulated by the insurance company and outlined in the insurance papers.
hell no
Read the specific policy exclusions in the life insurance contract. It will detail the impact of a suicide on the benefits, if any.
To the best of my knowledge, In the US all life insurance companies cover suicide after 2 years of in force issue.
no
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.
I dont think so. Most insurance policies do not cover death by intentional suicide.
Life Insurance Companies do not cover suicide, subject to the "Suicide Clause" limitation in all life insurance policies. The suicide clause stats that no death payment will be made if an insured commits suicide within the first two years (one year in Colorado) that the policy is in force. This clause protects the insurance company against adverse selection - the purchase of a life isnurance policy in contemplation of a planned death in order for the beneficiary of the life insurance policy to collect the life insurance proceeds.
Life insurance does normally include an exclusion period for suicide, and 2 years is common. It depends on the state you live in.
