How to Cancel Guardian Life Insurance

Cancelling via a letter or email

To cancel your Guardian Life Insurance, you can submit a letter or email outlining your request. Here are the steps you need to follow:

Firstly, you must ensure that your letter or email includes all the necessary details. This includes the reason for cancellation, such as switching to another provider or no longer needing the coverage. You should also specify the effective date of cancellation—the date on which you want your policy to end. If your request is received more than 31 days after this desired effective date, you may need to provide additional documentation, such as a copy of the risk letter from your new insurance carrier.

The letter or email should be sent by either the policyholder or an authorized representative, such as a company officer or correspondent for group plans. Make sure to include any relevant information, such as your policy number, full name, and date of birth, to help them locate your policy.

You can send your cancellation request to Guardian Life Insurance via mail or email. The mailing address is:

Guardian Life Insurance

El Paso, TX 79998-1590

Alternatively, you can send your cancellation request via email to [email protected]. Ensure that you receive a confirmation of your cancellation and a final billing statement after submitting your request.
