- Why the appraisal process involves two appraisers and an umpire to reach a binding decision on value.
- The critical rule of assignment: a policy cannot be transferred to another person without the insurer's written consent.
- How a mortgagee or loss payee's right to a claim payment is fundamentally different from a full policy assignment.
- Common exam traps, such as confusing loss payee rights with assignment or using appraisal for coverage disputes.
