Concilius has had a whole life (permanent) insurance policy for the past eight years. He decides he no longer wants this policy and stops paying the premiums. The cash value keeps the policy in effect for 28 months, after which it lapses. However, 46 months later, Concilius regrets his decision and applies to reinstate his policy. He is prepared to prove that he still meets the insurability conditions and to pay the overdue premiums plus interest, the cash value used, and the interest. Under what conditions will Concilius?? policy be reinstated?

Correct Answer:B
Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation: Reinstatement of a lapsed whole life insurance policy is governed by the Civil Code of Quebec (Article 2428) and insurer policies outlined in the LLQP. If a policy lapses due to non-payment but has a cash value, it may remain in force temporarily via an automatic premium loan or reduced paid-up option. For reinstatement, the insured typically must provide evidence of insurability and repay overdue premiums, interest, and any cash value used, as Concilius offers. The LLQP specifies that reinstatement, if within the insurer??s allowable period (often 2–5 years), restores the policy to its original terms—same premium and coverage—unless otherwise stipulated. Option B, ??with the same initial conditions,?? aligns with this standard practice. Option A (new premium based on age) applies to new policies, not reinstatement. Option C (premium increase) or D (reduced amount) might occur if insurability declines, but Concilius meets the conditions, so no adjustment is required. The Ethics manual stresses transparency in explaining reinstatement terms.

Last year, Ezekiel purchased a $100,000 life insurance policy and named his wife Jolene as an irrevocable beneficiary of the policy. Last week, Ezekiel returned home early from a business trip and decided to surprise his wife instead of calling ahead. He arrived at midnight and not wanting to wake her, entered the house from the back door and left the lights off. Not expecting the intruder to be her husband, Jolene stabbed him in the heart with a kitchen knife. She quickly realized her mistake and called 911. Unfortunately, Ezekiel died in the hospital from his wounds. The police deemed Ezekiel's death as accidental, and no charges were filed. Will the insurer pay the death benefit?

Correct Answer:A
In situations where an accidental death occurs and the beneficiary is involved, the intent behind the act is critical in determining whether the death benefit will be paid. Since Jolene??s actions were not intentional and Ezekiel??s death was ruled accidental by the police, she did not willfully cause his death. According to LLQP guidelines, a death benefit is typically payable when the insured??s death is accidental and not due to intentional harm by the beneficiary.
Therefore, as Jolene acted without intent to harm Ezekiel, the insurer will likely pay the death benefit despite her being the cause of his accidental death.

After completing a thorough needs analysis, Dimitri, an insurance agent with Health Assure, recommends that his client Chandler purchase a deferred annuity contract and contribute monthly to a balanced segregated fund to build up savings that Chandler can use as retirementincome. Dimitri explains to Chandler that the type of annuity contract he is recommending has two distinct phases.
What are those two phases?

Correct Answer:C
Deferred annuities have two main phases: the accumulation phase and the investment phase. During the accumulation phase, the client makes contributions to the annuity, which are then invested to grow over time. Once the accumulation phase ends, the funds can be converted into an income stream during retirement.
Dimitri??s recommendation aligns with the structure of a deferred annuity, where Chandler contributes over time (accumulation) before receiving regular payments (investment), often providing a reliable retirement income. The LLQP training material details how deferred annuities offer tax-deferred growth during the accumulation phase, which then transitions into regular income in retirement.
