Property Ownership
A Mississippi property owner's home is damaged by a fire. Their homeowners insurance pays for repairs. The insured's right to the insurance proceeds is based on their 'insurable interest,' which means:
AThe insurance company's interest in collecting premiums
BThe property owner's financial stake in the property — they would suffer a financial loss if the property were damaged or destroyed✓ Correct
CTheir interest in interest-bearing accounts
DThe government's interest in maintaining property values
Explanation
Insurable interest means the insured has a financial stake in the property — they would suffer financially if the property were damaged. Property owners have insurable interest in their real estate because damage or destruction directly causes them financial loss.
