Sample questions & answers
1. For a life insurance policy on another person, Arizona requires the policy beneficiary to have an insurable interest:
When the contract is made
A.R.S. 20-1104(A) requires benefits to be payable to the insured or a person having an insurable interest at the time the contract was made.
2. The three primary factors used to determine a life insurance premium are:
Mortality, interest and expense
Premiums reflect expected mortality, interest the insurer expects to earn, and the insurer's expenses.
3. The principle that lets insurers predict losses more accurately as the number of similar exposures increases is the:
Law of large numbers
As the number of similar exposure units grows, actual results approach expected results.
4. Under Arizona law, initiating a life insurance policy for the benefit of an investor who has no insurable interest in the insured is:
A STOLI practice that violates the insurable interest law
A.R.S. 20-443.02 provides that intentionally initiating a policy for a person lacking insurable interest at origination is a STOLI practice that violates A.R.S. 20-1104.
