Advantages:
(a) Assignment of a policy can be effected simply and a perfect title easily obtained.
(b) Policies of the type accepted as security have an increasing value provided the
premiums are duly paid.
(c) The security can be realized immediately the assignor defaults.
(d) The policy moneys fall due immediately the assured dies(or at earlier maturity)
Disadvantages:
a) Insurance contracts are uberrimac fidci (of the outmost good faith):
therefore non-disclosure by the assured enables the insurer to avoid the
contract.
b) The proposer must have an insurable interest the life assured, otherwise
the contract is void.
c). The policy may be avoided because of a breach of covenant by the assured.
d) The premiums may fall in arrears. But if the bank advance is below the surrender
value of the policy this will not affect it. Further, by virtue of a clause in the
assignment the bank may debit its customers account to meet outstanding
premiums. Usually the bank requires premiums to be paid by standing order or
premium receipts produced.
