Cevap
When the insurer relinquishes control and places the policy in the mail
Constructive delivery occurs the moment the insurer issues the policy as applied for and legally relinquishes control of it. Because the applicant already paid the premium and there are no additional forms required, handing the policy over to the postal service constitutes legally binding delivery.
