Life insurance is a contract between an insurance policy holder and an insurer, where the insurer promises to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money (the "benefits") upon the death of the insured person.

Parties to contract There are three parties involved : Policy holder - . The policy owner is the guarantor and he will be the person to pay for the policy. Insured Person - The insured is a participant in the contract, but not necessarily a party to it. Beneficiary - The beneficiary receives policy proceeds upon the insured person's death. The owner designates the beneficiary, but the beneficiary is not a party to the policy.
