Final Exam Strategy
When answering Florida life and annuity regulation questions:
Look for written disclosure requirements
Watch for exact deadlines and timeframes
Separate traditional life, group life, and variable products
Be alert for replacement documentation issues
Watch for annuity suitability / best-interest violations
Remember that divorce can affect beneficiary designations
If you see variable, think insurance + securities
Chapter Takeaway
