life insourance:-
Life insurance (or life assurance,
especially in the Common wealth of
nation) is a contract between an
insurance policy holder and an
insurer or assurer .where the insurer
promises to pay a designated
beneficiary a sum of money upon the
death of an insured person (often
the policy holder). Depending on the
contract, other events such as
terminal illnress or critical illness can
also trigger payment. The policy
holder typically pays a premium,
either regularly or as one lump sum.
Other expenses, such as funeral
expenses, can also be included in the
benefits.

Life policies are legal contracts and
the terms of the contract describe
the limitations of the insured events.
Specific exclusions are often written
into the contract to limit the liability
of the insurer; common examples
are claims relating to suicide, fraud,
war, riot, and civil commotion.
Difficulties may arise where an event
is not clearly defined, for example:
the insured knowingly incurred a risk
by consenting to an experimental
medical procedure or medication
resulting in injury or death.
Types of Life Insurance
-Overview
There are four major types of life
insurance policies. These life
insurance types are Whole Life
Insurance, Term Life Insurance,
Universal Life Insurance, and
Variable Universal Life Insurance.
Within each of these classes of life
insurance policy types, there are
even further variations that exist, but
the vast majority of all policies are
one of these four. Some policies will
make life insurance agent's more
money than others. For instance,
whole life will often make them the
largest commission for any given
death benefit, and term life
insurance will usually make them the
smallest commission. This means
that an agent does not have a very
big incentive to sell a policy that is
the most beneficial to the vast
majority of people. Arguments can
be made for the benefits of each
type, but each situation is unique
and calls for a careful understanding
of the costs and benefits involved.

the pros and cons of "purchasing

of each type of life insurance policy,
along
with some benefits and drawbacks of
each kind.

Life Insurance Types - Choosing the
Right Policy
No matter which type of life
insurance you choose, it is very
important to understand the specific
rules and terms of each type of
insurance and each specific policy.
Different types of policies can be
appropriate for different people
depending upon their age, needs,
and appetite for risk. Each type of
policy carries a different charge, and
it is important to understand how
long the coverage is needed, how
long each policy will be in place, and
how much it will cost in the long run.

Functions of Insurance
Functions of insurance are to spread
the loss caused by a particular risk
over several persons, who are
exposed to it and who agree to
insure themselves against the risk.
