An agent and an applicant for a life insurance policy fill out and sign the application. However, the applicant does not wish to give the agent the initial premium, and no conditional receipt is issued. When will coverage begin?

Respuesta :

Answer:

The coverage will start when the life assured/assured pay the premium on the life assured

Explanation:

In Insurance, the rule say "No Premium, No Cover". It is a serious offense for an insurance office/life office to provide cover on a life that has not paid the premium.

The filling out of the policy only indicate "Offer" towards enforcing the policy from the assured side, we should not forget that the Insurance company giving the assured the proposal form to fill is an "Offer to Invitation". After this, the "Acceptance" will take place which is when the the the assured has submitted the Proposal form and the Life office has agree to provide cover. However, if the premium called "Consideration" has not been paid, no cover exist.
