            Abstract : 
In this paper, we focus on discussing the continuous term insurance policy in the form of paying premium in wholesale and paying the death benefit at the moment of death of the insured. Then we establish an optimal model of the payment of benefit. By solving and discussing the solution of the optimal control model, we finally obtain the optimal form and find out the insured´s optimal stratagem.
