How is insurable interest in one's own life legally classified?

Insurable interest in one's own life is classified as generally unlimited because an individual has a natural and inherent interest in the continuance of their own life. This means that as long as a person is alive, they can take out a life insurance policy on themselves without facing any restrictions related to the amount of coverage. This concept is grounded in the principle that the individual stands to benefit from their own life being insured, as it allows for financial security and support for their dependents or beneficiaries in the event of their passing.

In other contexts, insurable interest can be more restricted. For example, when insuring the life of another person, the insurable interest might be limited based on the relationship between the policyholder and the insured. Such classifications, however, do not apply to a person's own life, as the interest there is considered wide-ranging and unlimited.
