Life is in force at valuation.

Mathematical relation:

1{K≥0}=1\mathbf{1}_{\{K\ge0\}}=1

For this statement, the yearly death event, valuation origin and life-law normalisation follow the stated hypotheses. Death benefits are settled at the end of the policy year, whereas a maturity amount is payable at its anniversary. Every formula represents a currently open formal obligation unless it is a definition.
