Life Insurance Protects Your Liabilities

Facts Of Life:
Death is common to all. No one can avoid death. It may occur in ones life at any time. When the reality is this, have you ever given a thought to your liabilities? What will happen to your liabilities when you are no more? Do you want your survivors to bear the burden and make their life miserable? Let us not overburden our dear ones. There are amble opportunities that could be utilized for a peaceful life for everyone.

Life Insurance A Tool For Happy Life:
In order to avoid passing your liabilities to your dear ones and make them suffer, the best available tool for you is life insurance. Therefore, insure your life. Insuring your life means that you establish a contract between you, the policy holder and the insurer. Here the insurer agrees to pay a fixed sum of money in the event of the death or any other event such as terminal illness or critical illness of the policy holder

What For Life Insurance Policy:
The policy holder agrees to pay some amount, which is known as premium, at a regular intervals or as a single payment in lump sums to the insurer for the purpose meeting the expenses at the time of encountering certain unexpected losses. In fact, one can also insure life to meet the expenses of funeral and other expenses related to that. When the unexpected losses or death take place the insurer compensates by providing the promised amount to the policy holder or to his or her dear ones.

Life insurance policy could be either a protection plan or an investment plan. While the protection plan gives benefit in the event of specific event, the investment plan facilitates the growth of capital by regular or single premiums. A common form of protection policy is a term insurance. The investment policies are covering whole life and universal life.

Insured And Policy Holder:
There is a difference between the insured and the policy owner or policy holder. You should know that the policy holder and the insured are more often than not, the same person. Let me elaborate it as under.

If you buy a policy on your own life, then you are both the owner and the insured. If you buy a life insurance policy for your wife, then you are the owner and she is the insured person. This means that the insured person is a participant in the insurance contract, but need not be a party to it.

Policies Made At Utmost Good Faith:
When the insured dies, the beneficiary, so to say the survivors, as per the contract receives the policy proceeds. Thus your life insurance removes your burden of liabilities to the survivors after your death. In cases where the policy owner is not the insured (also referred to as the cestui qui vit), insurer looks for limiting policy purchases to those with an insurable interest. The individual wishing to be insured and the insurer accept that the other party is acting in utmost good faith. It is the vital part of life insurance. Exclusions in case of life insurance policies are death in the event of suicide, fraud, war, riot and civil commotion.
