In this episode you will learn:

- The precise difference between appraisal (for disputes over loss amount) and arbitration (for disputes over coverage).

- Why the appraisal process involves two appraisers and an umpire to reach a binding decision on value.

- The critical rule of assignment: a policy cannot be transferred to another person without the insurer's written consent.

- How a mortgagee or loss payee's right to a claim payment is fundamentally different from a full policy assignment.

- Common exam traps, such as confusing loss payee rights with assignment or using appraisal for coverage disputes.
