NOTE

LIFE ASSURANCE

Exceptions to the rule of financial relationship in life assurance

  1. According to Industrial Assurance and Friendly Societies Act 1948, amended by the Amendment Act 1958, a person may assure the life of a parent, step parents or grandparent up to an amount of 30 pounds which is considered to be enough for their burial expenses.
  2. An insurable interest to exist between parents and children must involve financial relationship whereby the parents or the children suffer financial loss following destruction of the basis on which the relationship was established. E.g. A father giving out loan to his son for commencement of a business outfit or for the purchase of an item such as vehicle or building of a house.
  3. In the case of partnership, a partner can insure the other partner’s life up to the limit of their financial involvement such as they stand to lose on the death of any one of them.
  4. In case of a creditor-debtor relationship, a creditor can also stand to lose money if a debtor dies before repaying the loan and therefore has an insurable interest to the extent of the loan plus interest. A debtor has no insurable interest on the life of the creditor.
