Dutch term or phrase: overlijdensrisicoverzekering

Can anyone help me with "overlijdensrisicoverzekering".
A direct translation, such as "death risk insurance" somehow does not sound right to me and is rather negative.
The normal term would be "life insurance", which however does not include anything about the death risk.
Any suggestions?

I seem to remember something about "straight life insurance" (i.e. only death risk) and a life insurance, where a payout is made at 65 for instance.

TIA

term life insurance

Explanation:
Van den End gives the following:

<uitkering ineens> term life insurance
<uitkering in terminjnen> family income insurance
(onbeperkte verzekeringsuur) whole life insurance
dalende ~ decreasing term insurance
gelijkblijvende ~ level term insurance

I think, therefore that just using 'term insurance' would be your best bet.

This is also borne out by Van Amerongen

Thanks Lucy and all of you,
I finally contacted the client, because I was still not 100% sure and the er were so many good arguments one way and the other. He confirmed the "term life insurance" is indeed the correct translation.

Alexander

Explanation:
Sickness and Death Insurance or Accidental Death Insurance.

Depends on your context. Where a risk is involved I suppose it would be the latter.

Temporary life assurance

Explanation:
Risicoverzekering: "Levensverzekering, waarbij de verplichting van de verzekeraar tot het doen van een uitkering of een reeks van uitkeringen aleen dan onstaat, indien het overlijden van de verzekerde voor de in de polis genoemde datum plaatsvindt. Tot de risicoverzekeringen behoren o.m. de tijdelijke overlijdensverzekering, de ideaalrenteverzekering, de overlevings-renteverzekering de risico-ideaalverzekering, en de risico-studieverzekering." (Assurantietermen en wetsartikelen, R.A. Haverkoorn Van Rijsewijk, ISBN 90 6007 614 1).

Please note that in British English, a distinction is made between life ASsurance and non-life INsurance, the former covering an event that eventually has to happen, and the latter being an event that may or may not happen.

See financial engineering glossary: http://www.fen.ie/glossary/
Temporary Life Assurance which will only pay a benefit in the event of the death of the life assured within the duration of the policy.

See http://www.momentum-net.com/middle/Stakeholder.htm

Stakeholder plans can also be a very cost efficient way of providing life assurance for one’s dependants’, due to the tax relief available. Within the overall contribution limits, an amount equal to 10% of your total contributions can be paid to a plan to provide TEMPORARY LIFE ASSURANCE cover until retirement when the cover will cease.

Life and Accidental Death Insurance

Explanation:
It doesn't matter if there's a risk of death or not. The point of overlijdensrisicoverzekering is to relieve your survivors of your debts in the event of your own death. You're at risk to die every day anyway, doesn't matter what you're doing. So I think the risico aspect is superflous. And contrary to Jarrys late-posted disagree comment, I would be inclined to refute that on that note. Dutch insurance agencies translate it simply as "life insurance" but if you want to throw in the risk aspect, then put in Accidental Death, which is what we have on our policies over here anyway. Accidental Death Insurance you can use temporarily or indefinitely depending on whether you know you're at an increased risk to die or not. My scholarship organization covered me under Accident Insurance when I was sent across the country and the world every summer to do internships, and it was only valid during the summer. So bunk all the blah about the rest of it... whether it should be insure or assure or whatever. What's discussed or provided by the policy "Insurer" dependent anyhow. So if your insurer wants to say "we don't insure you or we won't give you as much if you put yourself at an extra risk to die" (which is the equivalent of saying that "life insurance" doesn't carry a risk factor with it) then you'd be STUPID to insure yourself through that company anyway. Under a policy like that it's like saying you get cut short of your payout if you drive your car to work.

Some other more specific terms can be found here, but it\'s all basically \"Life & Accidental Death\" insurance. No need to be any more specific than that IMHO:

life insurance

Explanation:
sometimes known as 'life cover' in a compound policy.
'Whole of life' cover defines a policy that only pays out if you die. In other words, you die, you win!
An 'endowment policy usually matures at say 65, and apys out both if you survive or if you die earlier than the maturity date.
These days 'life cover' is usually incorporated in a 'superannuation' policy.
