Inheritance tax form IHT419 'Liabilities related to an insurance policy'

Hello forum members. I am struggling with what I think is a simple concept. I am completing an IHT400 form for my late Mum, but I can't get my head around a section of IHT419 'Liabilities related to an insurance policy'. Can someone give me a simple example of two of what that might be, please?

I'm probably mentally confusing the item with a couple of assets (one being a life assurance policy) that have given rise to 'chargeable events' on death, but I think I can see where to report those in IHT400 and I'm talking to HMRC about those anyway.

Any assistance appreciated.

    With some Life insurances you can have a loan against the insurance, so you may have a £50,000 whole life policy and take a £10,000 loan against it then it would need to be declared here
