Understanding life insurance – chapter two

So, what is life insurance and why people buy you it? For that matter, what is the difference between life and life insurance? The answers to these and many more questions can be found if we understand a little more how things work.


Insurance is designed to provide compensation you should suffer a financial loss due to one particular fact. For the purposes of this article I will focus on life insurance.


A form of gambling was widespread, a few hundred years, and a person "bet" that someone else would die within a certain time frame (usually famous). It needs much imagination, to predict a dramatic increase in unexplained deaths, whether this practice to continue to have been disabled. For this reason, laws were introduced, a person from a life insurance benefit ban when they suffered a financial loss after the death of the insured person. The maximum insurance that could be paid was limited to the damage. These laws, fell under the General heading of "insurable interest". Since its introduction a few centuries ago these laws remain almost untouched today, with only a few changes due to the Inland Revenue.


In the family home, a spouse is unlimited insurable interest over the life of her partner have when the law is. However, insurance companies would life insurance offer question that exaggerated it would keep for an amount of cover. We will review these amounts in a later article, if someone should have taking into account how much life cover.


The market for the life insurance industry was, that, founded and divided generally into three areas. The first is, the "family protection" where a breadwinners wanted their relatives with cash costs and replace their income should die they. The second can on the whole, 'Business Assurance' be described with an insurance policy is used to provide a company after the death of a 'Keyman' or 'Key persons' cash. The calculation of insurable interest in such cases must determine cover defined rules and regulations to the appropriate life follow. The third is "Liability protection" designed to repay a loan or blame for the death, rather than passed down to the estate and dependent objects. Inheritance tax to use this type planning and mortgage protection.


So, now we have the market but what the products are sold? It is here that the difference between the living and life becomes clearer.


There are three main categories for life cover policy; Term, whole life and endowment. With basic term cover, the plan has a start date and end date. If the insured dies between these data and paid premiums when due, will use the life insurance policy paid out. The life insurance company are the policyholders, that "Assurance". With the entire life there is a start date, but the end date is the earlier death of the insured or have stopped in bonuses from the policyholder. The insurance company is an assurance that the life cover to the death of the insured person is paid as long as premiums are paid. Life insurance cover is therefore the entire life of the insured. Endowment are a savings plan as an insurance policy more similar policies. They have maintained what an assurance that bonuses were a start date and end date, with the insurance company, they are a lot of performance numbers at the end of the plan, or if the life insured dies during the term provided.


In the next article we a little more understand about these different types of life insurance plans available and as life insurance rates are calculated by the life insurance company. Life insurance quotes offered by independent financial advisers, mortgage brokers and online offers of insurance will be often very different. It helps to understand why this is the case.
