1. Life insurance 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

holder). Depending on the contract, other events such as terminal illness or critical illness can also
trigger
payment. The policy holder typically pays a premium, either regularly or as one lump sum.
