Yes, if the insured is also the policy owner.
Insurance might be cover to your life or body or any asset, provided when you have any damage to them, It is financial guarantee the subject that is being insured
Asset.
Very basically, insurance is a contract (called an insurance policy) between one party (the insurance company) and another (the insured). In the case of life insurance, it is a life that is being insured. In return for the periodic payment of money (called a premium) to the insurance company, the insurance company agrees to pay a sum of money when the insured (whose life is insured) dies. The money is generally paid to the person (or sometimes an entity, such as a charity) that is designated in the insurance policy as the beneficiary. The beneficiary is designated by the insured when the insured buys the insurance but can usually be changed up until the time of death.
The Insured of the policy is obviously the Principal in a life insurance contract.
no, intangible
The beneficiary has to have an insurable interest in the insured. The insured has to pass certain qualifications in order to be insured.
That is definitely correct! The terms of that 'contract' and the obligations on each party will be dependent on the country (and possibly the state), however for term life insurance policies generally the life insured is obligated to pay the premiums for the insured sum and if the life insured has met the application obligations in obtaining the policy, the life insurance company is obligated to pay that sum. In Australia, life insurance contacts between the life insurance company and the life insured is regulated by the Insurance Contracts Act 1984. In the UK, I believe the origins of Life Insurance contracts stem from the Life Assurance Act 1774.
Only whole life insurance,not term life.
The only case where the insured can collect on their life insurance is with a whole life policy. In that instance any interest or dividends are taxable.
The difference between term life insurance and whole life insurance is that a term policy covers the insured for a "term of years" whereas a whole insurance policy covers the insured for the entire life period.
Insurance is there in the hope that you will never need it! For instance, having your home fully insured would be an asset if your house suffered a fire and was totally gutted. But, if you never suffer a fire gutted house, your insurance payments are outgoing payments that are not recoverable.
The Insured can change the beneficiary on a life insurance contract.
