The correct answer is: A. At the time of taking policy.
Insurable interest is a legal concept that requires a person to have a financial interest in the life of another person in order to take out a life insurance policy on that person. This interest must exist at the time the policy is taken out, and it must continue to exist throughout the life of the policy. If the insured person dies and the beneficiary does not have insurable interest, the beneficiary may not be able to collect the death benefit.
There are two types of insurable interest: pecuniary and moral. Pecuniary interest is a financial interest in the life of another person. For example, a business owner may have pecuniary interest in the life of an employee, because the employee’s death would result in a financial loss to the business. Moral interest is a non-financial interest in the life of another person. For example, a parent may have moral interest in the life of a child, because the child’s death would cause the parent emotional distress.
In most jurisdictions, both pecuniary and moral interest are sufficient to establish insurable interest. However, there are some jurisdictions that require pecuniary interest only.
It is important to note that insurable interest is not the same as a beneficiary. A beneficiary is a person who is named in a life insurance policy to receive the death benefit if the insured person dies. A beneficiary does not need to have insurable interest in the insured person in order to collect the death benefit.
Insurable interest is a legal requirement for life insurance policies. If a life insurance policy is taken out without insurable interest, the policy may be void. This means that the beneficiary may not be able to collect the death benefit.
