    Study Notes

    Life Insurance Policy

    • If the insured designates their common-law wife as the beneficiary, the insurance company will pay the benefit to her.

    Definition of "Accident"

    • An "accident" refers to an unexpected and unforeseen event, not a predictable consequence of a deliberate act.

    Indemnity Agreement

    • A life insurance contract is treated primarily as an indemnity agreement only when the creditor insures the life of the debtor.

    Creditor-Debtor Relationship

    • If the debt was already paid when the debtor dies, the proceeds of the insurance will go to the creditor.

    Grace Period

    • If the person whose life is insured dies during the grace period and premiums were not paid, the insurance company usually pays the beneficiary the premiums paid, minus any outstanding debts.

    Policy Loans

    • Life insurance policy loans are limited to the cash value of the policy.

    Claims Handling

    • Most claims for death benefits of life insurance policies are handled by the insurance company paying the full policy amount to the beneficiary.

    Limited Payment Life Policies

    • Limited payment life policies limit the number of premiums paid by the policyholder, but provide lifelong coverage.

    Substandard Rates

    • "Substandard rates" in life insurance generally refer to higher premiums charged to individuals who are considered higher risk due to health or other factors.
