,Q1. A Maryland life insurance producer receives a signed application and initial premium from a
proposed insured, but the insurer issues the policy with a higher premium due to a health rating.
The producer has 10 days to deliver the policy and obtain a statement of continued good health. If
the producer fails to deliver the policy within 10 days but later delivers it after the insured has died,
which of the following best describes the insurer's liability?
A. The insurer is liable for the full death benefit because the initial premium was paid and the
application was signed.
B. The insurer is liable only for a refund of premiums paid because the policy was never delivered
during the insured's lifetime.
C. The insurer is liable for the death benefit minus the extra premium that would have been charged
for the rating.
D. The insurer is not liable because the producer's failure to deliver within 10 days voids the
conditional receipt.
Correct Answer: B. The insurer is liable only for a refund of premiums paid because the policy was
never delivered during the insured's lifetime.
Rationale: Under Maryland law and standard conditional receipt provisions, if a policy is not delivered
during the insured's lifetime, the insurer's liability is limited to a refund of premiums paid. Delivery and
acceptance of the policy while the insured is alive is a prerequisite for coverage to take effect, even if a
conditional receipt was issued.
Why Wrong:
A - Coverage does not become effective until the policy is delivered and accepted while the insured
is alive, regardless of premium payment.
C - There is no partial liability for death benefits when the policy was never delivered; the insurer's
only obligation is to return premiums.
D - The conditional receipt is not voided; rather, its terms limit coverage to a refund if delivery does
not occur during the insured's lifetime.

Q2. A life insurance policy includes an accidental death benefit rider that doubles the face amount if
death occurs from accidental causes. The insured dies from a heart attack while driving, and the
autopsy reveals that the heart attack was triggered by a pre-existing coronary artery disease. Which
of the following is the correct handling of the accidental death benefit?
A. The accidental death benefit is payable because the accident (car crash) was the proximate cause of
death.
B. The accidental death benefit is not payable because the death was caused by a disease, not an
accident.
C. The accidental death benefit is payable only if the insured was not at fault for the accident.
D. The accidental death benefit is payable proportionally based on the contribution of the accident to
the death.
Correct Answer: B. The accidental death benefit is not payable because the death was caused by a
disease, not an accident.
Rationale: Accidental death benefit riders require that death result directly from accidental causes,
independent of all other causes. A heart attack due to pre-existing disease is not an accident, even if it
leads to a car crash. The death is considered to be from disease, not accident, so the rider does not pay.
Why Wrong:
A - The proximate cause of death is the heart attack (disease), not the crash; the crash was a
Page 3
, consequence, not the cause.
C - Fault is irrelevant; the key is whether death was accidental and not caused by disease or natural
causes.
D - Accidental death benefits are all-or-nothing; there is no proportional payment for mixed causes.
