    You have to have an insurable interest. What would be your insurable interest?

  • Dont even know what an isurable interest is.

    I was looking at some sort of thing as both me and my partner are insured, but i was thinking what if the worse was to happen and our child wasn't insured?

    Ok, wording it differently. How would you be financially worse off if your child was to die?

    It is unlikely that you would be so there is no reason to insure. Some life policies taken out by the parent do have cover for under 18s built into them but the amounts are usually relatively small and just to cover time off work etc.
