Which of the following must an agent do when replacing a life insurance policy?

When replacing a life insurance policy, the producer must submit to the replacing insurer a list of all existing life insurance policies or annuity contracts proposed to be replaced. The New Jersey replacement framework requires the replacement notice to identify the life insurance policies or annuities proposed to be replaced and to be signed by the applicant and producer. The purpose is to make the replacement transparent and reviewable so the applicant understands potential disadvantages, including surrender charges, new contestability periods, loss of guarantees, changes in premiums, and loss of favorable policy values. Option A is not the required producer duty stated in replacement regulation. Option B is backwards because the producer’s replacement paperwork must go to the replacing insurer; the replacing insurer then has its own notice duties to the existing insurer. Option D is also wrong because the applicant must receive or retain the required replacement notice/disclosure; the producer cannot simply forward it and withhold the applicant’s copy.
