Application Signatures

Definition
Minimum two: the applicant and the producer. Third-party ownership (applicant ≠ insured) adds the proposed insured's signature — three total. The beneficiary NEVER signs. Exception: a minor proposed insured (a parent/guardian applies).
Exam tip

Easy to confuse with

These are what this term gets tested against — if you can't tell them apart cold, drill the contrast.
