No cost to you. If you ever buy a policy through us, the insurance company pays us — you never do.

What a name change means

Northstar Life Insurance Company changed its name to Dearborn National Life Insurance Company of New York on 24 July 2012. The record places it in Pittsford, New York. A rename leaves the same legal insurer responsible for the contract; the letterhead, payment address, and service number can change. Read the current name on your statement before sending a payment.

The record we checked describes a name change rather than a sale. The policy still has to be read for its own premium, beneficiary, riders, and any cash-value terms.

Ownership trail

Your record has more than one handoff. Follow the names in order when you call so the current insurer can match the old policy number.

  1. Northstar Life Insurance Company (to c.2008; bought by Fort Dearborn Life 2007)
  2. Fort Dearborn Life Insurance Company of New York (to 2012)
  3. Dearborn National Life Insurance Company of New York (2012-present) — the current endpoint shown in the record.

This is our best trace of the record. Confirm it before you act on it.

What to ask after a rename

Give the service team both names — Northstar Life Insurance Company and Dearborn National Life Insurance Company of New York — and ask them to confirm the policy number, premium, beneficiary, payment address, and claim address in writing.

For a plain checklist, see what to ask the current insurer and when a premium can change.
