Card 211

A candidate is making a final Washington exam-review note. A Washington policy owner receives a new individual life policy and decides on day 8 that it is unsuitable. What right generally applies?

  1. The policy may be returned within 10 days for a premium refund
  2. The policy may be returned within 30 days only after proving misrepresentation
  3. The policy can only be exchanged for another policy
  4. The policy cannot be returned after delivery
Reveal answer and explanation

Correct answer: The policy may be returned within 10 days for a premium refund

Returning it within that period makes the policy void from its beginning and triggers a premium refund, subject to statutory exclusions. This is an editorial practice variation derived from source card wa-lh-2026-q01; the controlling rule and citation are unchanged.

This is an editorial practice variation derived from source card wa-lh-2026-q15; the controlling rule and citation are unchanged. The alternative choices are not the cited requirement for this fact pattern.

Reveal answer and explanation

Correct answer: The policy may be returned within 10 days for a premium refund

A candidate is making a final Washington exam-review note. A Washington policy owner receives a new individual life policy and decides on day 8 that it is unsuitable. What right generally applies?

  2. The policy may be returned within 10 days for a premium refund
  3. The policy may be returned within 30 days only after proving misrepresentation
