Before your application for life insurance can be approved, the underwriter will make sure that the people you named as beneficiary have an insurable interest in you. Family members and spouses have an insurable interest in you because they are generally responsible for burial expenses and estate responsibilities. Unless you have no living relatives, a friend may not be considered to have an insurable interest.
