New Hampshire Offices Responsible for Life Insurance

New Hampshire's Insurance Department was established in 1851. In fact, it was the first insurance regulatory agency in the United States. Should an insurer licensed to sell life insurance in New Hampshire be found to be insolvent the New Hampshire Life & Health Insurance Guaranty Association is responsible to protect the interests of the life insurance policy holders.

The legal statutes that regulate life insurance are defined in New Hampshire's Chapter 408. These regulations cover issues such as requirements, penalties and limitations on policies, the charitable gift of a life insurance policy, and an agent's responsibility in renewing a policy.
