Life Insurance Basics

An applicant pays the premium with the application and receives a conditional receipt, then dies before the policy is issued. What governs the claim?

Answer and explanation
Answer: A. A conditional receipt puts cover in force from the stated date provided the proposed insured proves insurable on the terms applied for, so the claim turns on insurability rather than on how far the file had progressed. Intention and administration are not the test.Source: PSI — New York DFS Insurance Candidate Information Bulletin — Outline, conditional receipt
