You can insure 2 people in 1 policy. But it only makes sense if you are married. Unmarried property developers are practically required to insure each other. Otherwise, the survivor gets absolutely nothing :) because, in terms of inheritance law, the partner in the house (not married) is just any random stranger. A valid will later on (which is actually harder to arrange for the property than one might first think) still results in a hefty inheritance tax, because you are still considered a stranger and have no real tax exemptions. You can avoid this hassle by simply insuring each other. If one dies, the insurance of the other pays out directly to the policyholder. No inheritance or other nonsense. Disadvantage: this variant immediately makes one a suspect in the case of an unnatural death, since one clearly benefits from the death of the other.
