A survivorship policy is essentially the same as a second-to-die policy. Sometimes that "title" is applied to second-to-die policies or to policies covering more than one person, referring to the LAST named insured to die.

Yes it is second to die policy and i found a better way to define it, It provides one policy that insures the lives of two people, usually spouses. No proceeds are paid when the first spouse dies. The policy remains in effect and premiums may need to be paid. The death benefit is not paid to the beneficiary until the death of the second insured.

I understand that the policy stays in effect after the first insured dies. But, does it bring changes to the premium amount?

No. The premium is established with the understanding that it will be the same when one insured remains. The premium will be based on the average age of the two insureds.

Max, the premium is not based upon the average age. It is based upon the joint life expectancy. It isn't the same thing.
