Xcel:
During the application process, a statement made by an applicant that becomes part of the contract is considered to be a warranty.
A.D. Banker:
Statements made by the applicant on the application are considered representations and not warranties.
Which one is correct?
Technically, both are true. Statements of fact are warranties & those become part of the policy contract. Representations don't become part ot the policy contract
At the same time, the majority of answers to questions on an application are representations to the best of their ability.
The AD Banker one seems somewhat poorly phrased in my opinion. Maybe could have included "normally or generally" considered warranties
