Cancel a Master Policy
The Masterpolicy cancellation works in a similar way as the masterpolicy’s MTA. This means that cancelling a Masterpolicy inherently cancels all the policies with status In Force MTA that are linked to it.
In order to open a cancellation on a Masterpolicy, you must first search for a specific one. After finding the right masterpolicy, you can request a cancellation.
