no, intangible
No. It cannot be taxed or attached.
Yes, if the insured is also the policy owner.
Corporately owned, cash value life insurance is "real property", and as such is a corporate asset, just like any other corporate asset. Does this constitue "equity"? I think it does. Rjbeeg
Current Asset
Prepaid insurance would be an asset. Insurance expense is when the insurance has been used up, thus making it an actual expense on the Income Statement. Whereas Prepaid Insurance on a Balance sheet is classified as an Asset.

I believe you're asking if life insurance is considered an asset and I would say yes. Generally speaking there are cash value type life insurance policies and term life insurance policies that tend to not have a cash value. Cash value policies; whole life insurance, universal life insurance, etc. have a quantifiable value to them considered to be equivalent to the cash surrender value if not more. This would be considered an asset in most instances. Although most term life policies do not carry a cash surrender value, you could potentially think of it as an asset as someone may be willing to purchase that policy from you. If you were to consider selling your life insurance, someone like a viatical company or life settlement company will likely pay you for it. The difficulty lies within valuing certain types of policies due to stricter IRS definitions, an ever changing life insurance industry, and more regulations. The value of a particular life insurance policy really depends on who is asking and what type of policy you hold. The value may be calculated differently for example if a policy is being given to a charity or if it being accounted for for Medicaid purposes.. "Is asset life insurance?" I would say yes to that question more times than no.
Prepaid insurance is that amount which is paid in advance for future insurance so until actual insurance facility is availed by company it is an asset of company and if it is for short term or will be availed in current fiscal year then it is current asset otherwise a fixed asset, if some portion is usable in current fiscal year then only that portion will be current asset and remaining will be fixed asset.
Prepaid insurance premia is to be shown in the Profit & Loss Account, and not as an asset in the Balance Sheet.
