Life Insurance PolicyYes you can, I own a policy on my husband's life. There is a stipulation though. You cannot just take out a policy on anyone you chose. It has to be someone (husband/wife/life partner/parent/child) that you can show affects your life financially. So if you're the person in charge of settling a parent's estate when they die, you can take one out on them. If you're the one responsible for burrying a child if they die, you can take one out on them. If your spouse brings anything at all to the table, even a house wife has a job, you can take one out on them. You need to be able to show how the person's death will affect you financially and the pay off amount has to be somewhat in line with the amount you'll be losing in the event of their death. For instance, to hire someone to do a housewife's job would probably cost around $80,000.00 a year, or a 1.5 million dollar policy on a 12 year old child would certainly look suspicious. Of course, if you are the "owner" of the policy and that person's death is the least bit suspicious, you'll be under scrutiny. I insisted on being the owner of my husband's policy so if in 10 years we parted he couldn't take that policy and make a new woman the beneficiary after I was the wife who had to budget in the policy payment for 10 years.

An exclusion gives a condition for which an insurance policy does not cover. You may have homeowners insurance. It may exclude damage to vehicles. You would need to have a separate insurance policy on your car. If a hurricane came and the roof was blown off your house and your car was blown away. Your homeowners would pay for your roof but not your car. If you have collision insurance, it would pay for your car. Your homeowners would have an exclusion clause excluding your car.

Can you insure your self?

Most states will have a statute about self insurance. if you want to consider being self insured you would need to check with your state on the requirements and meet their guidelines. However the cost to do so may be very high. For example to meet fiancial responsible laws for personal auto they may require you to deposit $50,000 cash with the state or a letter of credit from your bank. In casualty line such as personal auto, general liability and other casualty lines it would be unadvisable. For property insurance such as your house you can self insure provided no other entity or person has a financial interest. Again this is not a good ideal when you can transfer your risk to a insurer for a small amount of premium.

What is the difference between being insured under a policy and being self-insured?

If you have an insurance policy purchased from an insurance company, some or all of the financial losses you incur will be reimbursed by the policy issuer. If you are self-insured you, or the company that is self-insured, is responsible for all financial losses and liability to others. Some self-insured companies are self-insured only for the first million or 5 million dollars, and have bought insurance policies to cover larger losses. Their annual insurance premiums are lower as a result, since the purchased policy is not responsible for those less, and more frequent, losses.
