Life Insurance
24 Answers
This is a question that came to me in the wee hours when the howling gale kept me awake.
In various tv programmes/films (usually American) about murder, it is often discovered that the murderer took out a huge life insurance policy on the victim before bumping them off.
My question is this. Would it be possible in this country (UK) to take out a life insurance policy on someone and have yourself named as the beneficiary, without the person in question being aware of it?
BTW I am NOT planning a sudden and imminent for Mr O lol

That wouldn't be a problem as I forge his signature all the time. He is clueless with his finances so I write out and sign all his cheques.
One time he had to write out a cheque himself when I was out. The cheque bounced with the message "signature differs"
Anyway, this is a hypothetical question and does NOT involve Mr O!

I thought in UK you could but now you cant
[ you can certainly put in a condition of a contract that the contract shall only take effect on the date of death of someone but that is hardly insurance ]
You can only do so in principle if you have an insurable loss in the death ( which most of us dont )

otherwise you have to get the spouse to insure himself and then assign it to you
oh and the stories about Marilyn Monroe's clavicle being insured for $2m when she broke it, are tosh apparently ( and betty grable's legs ). Studio hype. YOu can't insure body parts like that - see above
