40-449. Policies covering debtors, replacement by creditor; limitation on contestation. Whenever any creditor substitutes or replaces a policy of life insurance covering debtors of a creditor in exchange for charges collected from the insured debtors, the insurance company issuing the replacement or substitute policy shall not be entitled to contest the payment of benefits in the event of the debtor's death to any greater extent than the replaced life insurance would have been contestable by the insurer providing the replaced coverage had a replacement not occurred. This prohibition shall not apply to any amount of insurance provided by the replacement policy which exceeds the amount of insurance provided by the replaced policy.
