TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)explains that life insurance policies typically include a suicide clause, which denies the death benefit if the insured commits suicide within a specified period—usually two years—from the policy’s issue date or reinstatement date. When a policy lapses and is reinstated, the suicide exclusion period restarts from the reinstatement date, not the original issue date. In this case, Mordecai’s policy lapsed after four years, was reinstated, and he committed suicide 12 months (less than two years) later. The incontestability clause (which prevents insurers from denying claims based on misstatements after two years) does not override the suicide exclusion, making A incorrect. Public order (B) is irrelevant, and there’s no evidence of a preexisting condition (D) affecting the suicide clause. Thus, Larry should inform the beneficiaries that the claim will be rejected due to the suicide exclusion restarting upon reinstatement, making C correct.

Since Arthur is the named beneficiary on Mercedes' life insurance policy, the death benefit will be payable to him directly. Under LLQP provisions, life insurance proceeds designated to a minor beneficiary are generally paid into a trust or managed by a legal guardian until the minor reaches the age of majority​.

In this case, because Mercedes died intestate (without a will), Arthur would still receive the proceeds of the life insurance policy as the sole named beneficiary. However, since he is a minor, the Director of Youth Protection or a legal guardian may be appointed to manage the funds until Arthur becomes of age​.

When a life insurance policy is used as collateral for a loan, the policyholder retains ownership but must avoid actions that could reduce the value of the policy as collateral, such as reducing the cash value or cancelling the policy. This restriction ensures that the lender’s security interest in the policy remains protected until the debt is repaid​.

In collateral assignments, the policyholder does not transfer ownership to the lender, nor is there a requirement to designate the lender as an irrevocable beneficiary. The assignment simply grants the lender a right to claim the policy proceeds to cover the loan amount if the policyholder defaults or passes away​.

TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)states that only licensed agents can receive compensation for insurance referrals, and payments contingent on sales are prohibited for unlicensed individuals. Jamie is no longer an agent, and the flat fee is contingent on sales, violating regulatory rules. Her past licensure (A) doesn’t permit this, client awareness (B) doesn’t override the licensing requirement, and the flat fee structure (D) isn’t the issue—contingency is. This protects against unlicensed solicitation, making C correct.

Accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance policies generally do not require medical underwriting, as they provide coverage specifically for accidents rather than health-related conditions. This lack of medical underwriting means that coverage often begins immediately upon acceptance of the application, which is why Bernadette’s policy effective date is the same as the date of acceptance​​. The absence of a health assessment or related underwriting requirements facilitates the quick initiation of coverage in AD&D policies.

The MTAR (Maximum Tax Actuarial Reserve) rule governs the amount of money that can be invested into a Universal Life policy while maintaining its tax-exempt status. Exceeding the MTAR limit causes the policy to lose this status, and the excess becomes taxable. This is a critical concept in LLQP's Universal Life insurance structure and must be reviewed before any large deposits.

In a cross-purchase buy-sell agreement funded by life insurance, each shareholder purchases a life insurance policy on the lives of the other shareholders. Upon the death of a shareholder, the surviving shareholders use the proceeds from the insurance to buy out the deceased shareholder’s shares at the agreed value. Since each share is valued at $5,000, Alana's 100 shares would be worth:

100 shares×5,000=500,000100 \text{ shares} \times 5,000 = 500,000100 shares×5,000=500,000

Thus, Meaghan and Beatrice would collectively purchase Alana's shares from her estate, providing her estate with a total of$500,000. Each surviving shareholder will then own an additional 50 shares, resulting in each now holding 150 shares of Advanced Tech Inc. This option aligns with the principles of cross-purchase agreements discussed in the LLQP​​​.

When considering surrendering a universal life (UL) policy, it is essential to understand the tax implications and any costs associated with surrender. Theadjusted cost basis (ACB)helps determine the taxable portion of the policy’s cash surrender value (CSV) because any amount received above the ACB may be subject to tax. Additionally,surrender chargescould reduce the CSV received upon surrender. Therefore, Ljubomir needs to collect both the ACB and any surrender charges applicable to Tanja's policy. These factors will help Tanja make an informed decision regarding the net amount she would receive from surrendering the policy and the potential tax liability​​​.

When a term life insurance policy is issued with a specific rating based on risk factors, such as Kacey’s former occupation as a firefighter, the premiums are generally fixed and non-negotiable post-issuance. However, Kacey can apply for a new policy, which would consider her current lower-risk occupation and potentially offer lower premiums. She would need to undergo underwriting again. Thus,Option Bis correct, as the existing policy’s premiums cannot be adjusted retroactively to account for her new role​​.
