A person can have two or more different life insurance policies. When you fill out the application for the second (or third or fourth) life insurance policy, the application will ask if you have any existing insurance. The reason they do this is to ascertain the total amount of coverage you will have. While you can have as many policies as you want, there is a limit on the dollar amount of coverage, based on your income and assets. On an average, most people can get about 20 times their annual income in life insurance protection.
