On August 9, Albert made an application for life insurance that his agent submitted | ||
a day later without a premium payment. On August 21, the insurer issued the | Â | |

Â
August 9Â
August 10Â
August 21Â
August 24 - ANSWER- C. Rationale:If an applicant does not submit an initial premium with the application, the applicant is inviting the insurance company to make a contract offer. The insurer can respond by issuing a policy (the offer) that the applicant can accept by paying the premium when the policy is delivered.Â
Â
All statements made by an applicant in an application for life insurance are | |
considered to be | Â |
Â
warrantiesÂ
affirmationsÂ
representationsÂ
declarations - ANSWER- C. Rationale:Most states require that life insurance policies contain a provision that all statements made in application be deemed representation not warranties. A representation is a statement made by the applicant that the applicant believes to be true. A warranty is a statement made by the applicant that is guaranteed to be true. If an insurance company rejects a claim on the basis of a representation, the company bears the burden of proving materiality.Â
