Insurable Interest is required in order for someone to buy a life insurance policy on someone else.

It means you have a financial interest in that person and if the person should die, you would lose out financially.

For example, either you rely on the person for some means of financial support, or if the person should die, you would suffer a financial cost; such as, having to pay for the person's final expenses.

Insurable Interest usually exists between spouses, parents and their children, and business partners, among others.
