the insured


Explanation:
this refers to the person whose life is insured and I see it often.
Policyholder is still the best term for tomador de seguro - because the policyholder may not be the one whose life is insured.

This text is from the second example:

Insuring Party. As used in this Paragraph 8, the term "insuring party" shall mean the party who has the obligation to obtain the Property insurance required hereunder. The insuring party shall be designated in Paragraph 46 hereof. In the event Lessor is the insuring party, Lessor shall also maintain the liability insurance described in paragraph 8.2 hereof, in addition to, and not in lieu of, the insurance required to be maintained by Lessee under said
paragraph 8.2, but Lessor shall not be required to name Lessee as an additional insured on such policy. Whether the insuring party is the Lessor or the Lessee, Lessee shall, as additional rent for the Premises, pay the cost of all insurance required hereunder, except for that portion of the cost attributable to Lessor's liability insurance coverage in excess of $1,000,000 per occurrence. If Lessor is the insuring party Lessee shall, within ten (10) days following demand by Lessor, reimburse Lessor for the cost of the insurance so obtained.

disagree  Donna Sandin: The Elseviers haven't been terrific, as a group - I used to buy them years ago and found this out - Insuring Party would suggest it's the COMPANY, the insurer, the seller of the insurance
