An insurance policy in combination with the application for insurance together make a legally binding contract. The application is the acceptance of the quote along with certain guarantees made by the applicant. As long as the truth is given on the application then the application is accepted by the company and it is a bound contract. If it is later found that you lied on the application, the contract is broken and the company does not have to abide by their part of the agreement either.

Again the basic essence of Insurance contract is the valid insurable interest. I presume the Insurance contract is binding on the insurance company and the surviving spouse need to be compensated with the benefit amount of the Insurance contract.
Is it necessary to disclose all the life insurance policy with every company?
I assume you are talking about disclosing your current life insurance policies to a company that you are applying to for a new policy. You should be absolutely as truthfull as you can in every aspect of any insurance applications that you fill out. The application and policy are a legally binding contract. If it is deemed that you lied on an application on any fact that is determined to be material to the issuance of the policy the insurance can and will find the contract null and void. They depend on the facts that you give them to decide on the policy issued and rates given. As in any legal contract if one party provides false or misleading information to get the other party to enter into a contract then the other party cannot be held to the terms of the contract. You don't want to pay for a policy that will not pay off when you need it.
