General Insurance

Why is a life insurance policy described as unilateral?

Answer and explanation
Answer: A. A unilateral contract is one in which only one party gives an enforceable promise: the insurer promises to pay, while the owner may stop paying premium without being sued for it. Signature, drafting, and the number of lives covered are separate matters.Source: PSI — New York DFS Insurance Candidate Information Bulletin — Outline, unilateral contract
