Life Insurance
One of the things about Life Insurance is that is you have to make a claim, you don't have to fill in the claim form yourself! Life Insurance pays out if you die, to help those who depend on you to carry on after you are dead. Fortunately, it's unlikely that you'll die soon, so the insurance companies are reasonably happy to insure your life for a modest regular payment in return for quite a large lump sum.
In some types of life insurance, or life assurance, the actual insuring of your life isn't the main purpose of the policy, and instead it's more of a long term investment, paying out after a while even if you are still alive.
