A contract which provides income to two or more people, and continues in force as long as any one of them survives.
Insurance which may be kept in force for a person’s whole life and which pays a benefit upon his death, whenever that may be. All Whole Life policies build up non-forfeiture values, but they are paid for in 3 different ways. Under a Straight or Ordinary Life policy, premiums are paid for as long as the insured lives. A single premium policy is paid for at one time in one premium. Between these two types there are many limited-payment plans, under which the insured pays premiums for a certain period or until reaching a certain age. Contrast with Term Insurance.
