Life Insurance
Definition:
Life insurance is a contract between an insurance company and an
"insured" or "policyholder", or someone who buys the policy. Life
insurance is also known as death insurance. If an insured, who
has been paying a premium to the insurance company dies while the policy
is still active; the insurance company pays a set amount to the beneficiary.
The premium for life insurance increases with age and amount.
Consequences of Life Insurance:
When making a life insurance claim, there may be certain problems that arise, in which the life insurance company may delay payments, such as:
- Questions about whether or not the policy was in force at the date of death
- If the policy is less than 2 years old
- If the death was suspicious and might be set up by the beneficiary
- If the death as a result of an accident and the life insurance policy covers death benefits
- If the death certificate verifies that the insured is older than what is stated on the policy
- If the person was a smoker and claimed he/she was not a smoker when applying for the policy
In most states, the above mentioned are problem cases and might delay settlement. Only after a thorough investigation that it may be determined if the life insurance policy was in fact valid and payment will be made thusly.
