Card 01
A Washington policy owner receives a new individual life policy and decides on day 8 that it is unsuitable. What right generally applies?
Reveal answer and explanation
Correct answer: The policy may be returned within 10 days for a premium refund
Washington's individual life policy examination provision generally allows the owner to return a new policy within 10 days after receiving it. Returning it within that period makes the policy void from its beginning and triggers a premium refund, subject to statutory exclusions.
