2393. Life insurance guarantees payment of the agreed amount upon the death of the insured; it may also guarantee payment of the agreed amount during the lifetime of the insured, on his surviving a specified period or on the occurrence of an event related to his existence.
Life or fixed-term annuities provided by insurers are assimilated to life insurance but also remain governed by the chapter on Annuities. However, the rules in this chapter that apply to unseizability take precedence.
