What is a life insurance quote?

Also called life assurance is a contract between an insurer and the insured or the policyholder, where the former pledges to assume the burden of the loss should the insured event occur and the later agree to pay a consideration (premium) in return.

Assurance term is used to refer to those events that we are so certain they will happen like death, while insurance may refer to those that are not predictable.

Is there a difference between a policyholder and insured?

The answer is yes. Take me for example if I decide now to buy a life insurance policy for my aging parents, then I become the policyholder and them the insured.

If I bought the same for myself, in this case I am both.

Which events are covered?

Events such as deaths of the insured or the policy holders are covered and also the grave and terminal sickness.
