Guam § 18208 - Insurable Interest: Change.
Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 18208 — Insurable Interest: Change., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 18208. Insurable Interest: Change.
Except in the cases herein specified, and in the cases of life
and disability insurance, a change of interest in any part of a
subject insured, unaccompanied by a corresponding change of
interest in the insurance, suspends the insurance to an equivalent
extent until the interest in the subject and the interest in the
insurance are vested in the same person.
(a) A change of interest in a subject insured after the
occurrence of an injury which results in a loss does not
affect the right of the insured to indemnity for the loss.
(b) A change of interest in one or more of several
distinct subjects separately insured by one policy does not
avoid the insurance as to the others.
(c) A change of interest by will or succession, on the
death of the insured, does not avoid insurance; and his
interest in the insurance passes to the person taking his
interest in the subject matter insured.
(d) In the case of partners, joint owners, or owners in
common, who are jointly insured, a transfer of interest by
one to another thereof does not avoid insurance even though
it has been agreed that the insurance shall cease upon an
alienation of the subject insured.
