View details →Wilton Re specializes in acquiring and managing legacy (in-force) life insurance and annuity blocks from other carriers. When an insurance company decides to exit a product line or divest a block of business, Wilton Re acquires or reinsures those policies. Your policy terms, coverage, and contractual rights remain unchanged -- Wilton Re (or one of its subsidiaries such as Wilton Reassurance Life Company of New York, Wilcac Life Insurance Company, or Texas Life Insurance Company) simply takes over the administration and servicing of the policy. Wilton Re has managed over 1.9 million policies through more than 18 transactions.
You can update your beneficiary designation by logging in to the customer portal at myaccount.wrli.com, by calling policyholder services at the phone number for your policy block (see wiltonre.com/for-policyholders), or by completing a Beneficiary Change Request form and submitting it by mail. The form revokes all prior beneficiary designations, so you must re-designate all beneficiaries even if only changing one. The change takes effect upon Wilton Re's filing of the signed form, effective as of the date you signed it. Irrevocable beneficiaries cannot be changed without their written consent. Contact numbers may vary by legacy policy block, so check your most recent statement for the correct number.
Wilton Re operates through several subsidiaries: Wilton Reassurance Life Company of New York (WRNY, administers policies acquired from Allstate Life Insurance Company of New York and other carriers), Wilcac Life Insurance Company (formerly Continental Assurance Company, administers structured settlements, annuities, and pensions acquired from CNA Financial and others), Wilco Life Insurance Company (administers additional acquired life insurance blocks), and Texas Life Insurance Company (founded in 1901, offers worksite life insurance products). The subsidiary administering your policy depends on the original carrier and the transaction through which Wilton Re acquired the block. Your most recent policy statement identifies the administering entity and the correct contact information. Each subsidiary has its own dedicated phone number listed at wiltonre.com/for-policyholders.
Wilton Re offers a customer portal at myaccount.wrli.com where policyholders can view policy information, manage beneficiary designations, and access forms. To register, you will need your policy number and personal identifying information. Not all legacy policy blocks may be available through the online portal. If you are unable to access your policy online, contact policyholder services at the phone number for your policy block (see wiltonre.com/for-policyholders) or the number on your most recent policy statement.
No. When Wilton Re acquires or reinsures a block of life insurance policies, the contractual terms of each policy remain unchanged. Your coverage amount, premiums, beneficiary designations, cash value (if applicable), and all other policy provisions continue as originally issued. Wilton Re assumes responsibility for administering the policy and honoring all contractual obligations. The primary change is in the company servicing your policy and potentially the contact information for policyholder services.
Wilton Re is owned by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments), the investment arm of one of the largest pension funds in the world. CPP Investments acquired Wilton Re to gain exposure to the life reinsurance sector. Wilton Re was founded in 2005 and is headquartered in Hamilton, Bermuda, with U.S. operations in Norwalk, Connecticut, and additional offices in Nashville, Tennessee and Waco, Texas.
