Description
This podcast is made by Ran Chen, who holds an EA license, Insurance and Securities licenses (Series 6, 63, 65), and the CFP® designation. He is passionate about opening access to high-quality exam preparation resources and helping learners prepare more effectively for professional certification exams.
In this episode you will learn:
- The Entire Contract provision consists of the policy, the application, and any attached riders, forming the complete agreement.
- Verbal statements or promises made by an agent that are not in the written contract are unenforceable.
- The Time Limit on Certain Defenses sets a two-year period for insurers to contest misstatements on an application.
- After the two-year contestability period, a policy cannot be voided or a claim denied for misstatements, unless they were fraudulent.
- A key exam trap involves scenarios where a claim arises after the two-year period; for non-fraudulent misstatements, the insurer must pay.
