Life insurance or life assurance is a contract between the policy owner and the insurer, where the insurer agrees to pay a designated beneficiary a sum of money upon the occurrence of the insured individual's or individuals' death or other event, such as terminal illness or critical illness. In return, the policy owner agrees to pay a stipulated amount at regular intervals or in lump sums. There may be designs in some countries where bills and death expenses plus catering for after funeral expenses should be included in Policy Premium. In the United States, the predominant form simply specifies a lump sum to be paid on the insured's demise.
Life insurance made its first appearance in England in sixteenth century, the first recorded evidence in England being the policy on life of William Gybbons on June 18,1653. Even before this date annuities had become quite common in England, and marine insurance had, in fact, made its appearance three thousand years ago. The life insurance developed at ‘Exchange Alley’. The first registered life office in England was the Hand-in-Hand Society established in 1696. The famous ‘Amicable Society for a Perpetual Assurance Office started its operation since 1706.
