Blood relationship

Financial relationship

It is a tie that exists between individuals who are descended from the same person/common forebear

. This is a relationship that exists when an insured person derives a financial benefit or other kinds of benefit from the continuous existence of the insured object

 

CONCEPT OF FINANCIAL RELATIONSHIP IN LIFE ASSURANCE 

  • A person has an unlimited insurance interest on his life i.e. there is no restriction regarding the insurable interest in one’s life although it will be determined by the ability to afford the premium.
  • Blood relationship between the parents and the children does not constitute the right to insurable interest in each other’s life.
  • A person who is married has an interest on his or her spouse.
  • Wife can affect policy on the life of her husband and husband can also affect policy on the life of his wife.
