This is insurance is a form of protection against
ourselves, protection in the form of finance against
unexpected events. Insurance itself is protection
against unexpected events (evenem). What if a
problem occurs, you can still protect your finances by
transferring to the insurance company as the insured.
In Indonesian society, awareness of insurance is still
very little. This uncertain event is a risk that must be
borne by the insurance company (insurer) during the
current coverage period. The definition of insurance
in Law Number 2 of 1992 concerning Insurance
Business is not much different from the definition of
insurance stated in the Commercial Code. Namely an
agreement between two or more parties, whereby the
insurer binds himself to the insured, by receiving an
insurance premium, to provide reimbursement to the
insured. Due to loss, damage or loss of expected
benefits, or legal liability to third parties that the
insured may suffer, arising from an uncertain event,
or for payments based on the death or life of the
insured person. Insurance participants are required to
pay a certain amount of money as a contribution to
the insurance company as fund manager. Insurance
participants will have the right to claim compensation
funds if there is a risk (Aidi, 2018). We can see that
the percentage of life insurance policy holders in
Indonesia is only 5%, which means that 265 million
of the population is only 13 million people who are
protected by life protection.
For example, in several years since 2000 there
were insurance companies that went bankrupt. This is
due to bad intentions or because of a lack of
supervision over insurance companies. This raises a
sense of distrust in our society towards insurance
companies. Some of the things that happen are when
changes to the contents of the policy or data in the
policy which we know as endrosment, which is a
change in the insured's data in the policy or to the
insured object. As is known in insurance, especially
in life insurance, there is a sum insured, which is quite
a fantastic figure. With the endorsement, it often
creates a desire for people to do evil to change the
content or change the existing inheritance to become
the property of one of the heirs or in whole or in part
without the knowledge of the policy holder or by
committing a criminal act.
Life insurance is a form of cooperation between
people who want to reduce or avoid future risks and
accidents. It is impossible for a person to know what
the next day will bring. Therefore, to reduce the risks
that may arise as a result of these things, people enter
into "reciprocal" insurance agreements, meaning that
each party has rights and also has obligations that
must be implemented.
This is enough to become a dilemma for the
community to take out insurance. As a follow-up in
order to create a consumer dispute resolution system
that is simple, fast and costs raised, the financial
services authority issued a regulation on dispute
resolution (Rahmawati & Rai Mantili, 2016).
Whether to help individuals who have good faith or
utmost good faith is a basic basis and trust that is the
basis of every agreement including insurance
agreements, and basically the law does not protect
parties with bad faith. As a reference for the principle
of good faith which is regulated in Article 1338
paragraph (3) BW, all insurance agreements are
specifically regulated in Article 251 of the the
Commercial Code. The principle contained in Article
251 of the Commercial Code is basically the principle
of utmost good faith.

legal change that is different from the original
agreement. The act of it affects how the continuation
of the law runs on the contract. Because after all the
agreement is a binding law to the parties that bind it
in the agreement. Therefore, it becomes a problem if
the binding of the agreement is not maintained.
So that in this paper it is hoped that it can create
an impetus for oversight that causes a balance of
regulation and enforcement that achieves the goals of
the country from the point of view of regulations and
regulations in the insurance sector. Knowing how the
arrangements for changing the name of heirs and
insurance arrangements, regarding legal protection
against changes in the name of heirs, and knowing the
legal consequences of changing names. This principle
of perfect good faith is a lex specialist of good faith
based on the provisions of civil law. Then this is what
makes the author want to examine the "legal
consequences of changing the name of heirs on the
insurance policy".
