Spanish term or phrase: SEGUROS A VENCER
En la sección OTROS ACTIVOS NO FINANCIEROS de un balance que estoy traduciendo aparece la expresión SEGUROS A VENCER. Sé que es una cuenta del activo que se utiliza para regular el pasivo, pero no sé exactamente cómo traducir el término. Se me ocurre INSURANCE RECEIVABLE, pero quizás alguno de ustedes conozca una mejor opción. Gracias desde ya.

English translation:prepaid insurance
Explanation:
Prepaid insurance is considered a business asset, and is listed as an asset account on the left side of the balance sheet. The payment of the insurance expense is similar to money in the bank, and the money will be withdrawn from the account as the insurance is "used up" each month or each accounting period.

It is confusing because it can be both an asset and a liability account, but you have confirmed it is an asset, so it is equivalent to Seguros pagados por adelantado, which is a better name for it.

I think this is the best answer for the text I‘m translating. In fact, in Uruguay insurance fees are sometimes paid fully in advance, and until they are ‘used up’ they are an asset. Thank to all of you for your invaluable help!

(term) insurance policies reaching maturity/ coming to mature


Explanation:
> 'una cuenta del activo que se utiliza para regular el pasivo' after the policies reach term (date).

cf. insurance run-offs e.g. translators' and interpreters' prof. indemnity policies are rolled over after termination for any claims 'as and when made' and coming in as a nasty surprise post-career.


Example sentence(s):
  • There are two types of term life policies. The first type is an annual renewable term life insurance policy. These policies mature every year. Term life insurance with level premiums will have a set maturity date several years out into the future.
