R.S. 22:854

Interest of the insured ACTIVE

A. When the name of a person intended to be insured is specified in the policy, such insurance can be applied only to his own proper interest. This Section shall not apply to life, annuity, or health and accident insurance.

B. With regard to loss by fire, the wrongful or malicious actions of a named insured that are determined to be the cause of the loss to the insured property shall not be imputed to any other insured such that the innocent insured would be deprived of coverage provided by the policy. In case of a fire that is set intentionally, the policy proceeds may only be reduced by the proper interest attributable to the insured that set the fire or otherwise participated in the cause of the loss. In the case of multiple named insureds, an innocent insured shall receive his proportionate share of the policy proceeds.
