How to cancel Legal & General
What its contract says about leaving.
We read the Legal & General terms on 12 April 2026. The company may have changed them since, and your contract may be different.
Notice and dates for leaving
- Policy term end
- The exact date you chose when you applied (e.g., 25 years from start) (cover stops and no payout is made)
What the contract says about leaving
- Lapsing due to missed paymentsIf you miss premium payments, L&G gives you a grace period (usually 30 days). After that, your cover ends and you cannot get it back on the same terms (you would need to reapply, possibly at a higher price or with new exclusions).
This page does not explain how Legal & General handles cancelling (by phone, on its website or with a form). For that, see the company's own page.
