There is no benefit to insurance companies to retain policies. Companies would be far better off if the holders came forward to claim their policies. For that reason, we have a stipulation that a notification must issue once a year. If one writes to people once a year to tell them they have a dormant account and they take no notice, I do not suppose writing twice a year will make much difference.
