endowment insurance

endowment insurance
In modern terminology, a life insurance policy which provides for the payment of the proceeds of the policy at a stated time after the date of the instrument, sometimes 20, sometimes 30 or more years, but upon the death of the insured if it occurs prior to the expiration of the stated period. 29 Am J1st Ins § 6. In former times, endowment policies appear to have had features of the tontine policy, one of which was that the insurer came under no liability to an insured who did not survive the endowment or tontine period. Such policies have been referred to at times as "pure endowment insurance." See tontine policy.
