There are various ways in which life policies may be made available as securities. An existing policy upon the debtor's life and in the debtor's name may be assigned to the creditor, or a policy may be taken out in the creditor's name, in which case no assignment is necessary. Unless, however, the policy has already acquired a value, the security is defective if there is no additional security for the payment of the premiums by the debtor. Consequently, policies are. most frequently used as supplementary to other securities. For example, an annuity upon the debtor's life, or on some other life, is assigned to the creditor, of sufficient amount to cover the interest on the loan and the premiums upon a policy upon the annuitant's life. The policy secures the repayment of the principal sum when the annuity lapses. In the same way, a reversionary interest may be assigned along with a policy upon the life on whose survivance the reversion depends. In the latter case it is not unusual to burden the reversion not only with the principal, but with the whole or a part of the interest and premiums upon the policy. If this is done, there seems no reason, as I stated in my last lecture, why the policies should not cover the interest and premiums for which credit is given as well as the principal.
