The document defines the key parties in a life insurance contract - the insured, owner, and beneficiary. The insured is the person whose death triggers the insurance payout, the owner controls the contract, and the beneficiary receives the payout. There are five ways a beneficiary can receive proceeds: as a lump sum, fixed amount, fixed period payments, interest only payments, or lifetime income. The document also describes some optional extra costs that can provide additional coverage, such as guaranteed insurability, waiver of premium, and double indemnity payout for accidental death.
