| | existing policyholder | Explanation:
I don't think you can say "previous or former" because the transfer is happening now (or in the future) from the existing (up to the time of transfoer) policyholder to the new one.

I don\'t really agree with italenegger because there\'s a perfectly good word \"vorherig\" that would express that idea, whereas \"bisherig\" means \"up to now\" / hitherto\". Besides, \"Uebertragung einer Versicherung\" implies a smooth transition, not a rupture. But if you really want to cover every possible case, you could say \"the old policyholder\" and the \"new policyholder\", which can also be continuous (e.g., the old year ends and the new begins). |

| Grading comment Vielen Dank für die Mühe. Das war genau mein Problem, das "up to now" auszudrücken, daher denke ich, es wird die beste Lösung sein.
