Remembering the Difference Between Bailor and Bailee

Remembering the Difference Between Bailor and Bailee

by | Jan 10, 2018 | CPCU 500, CPCU 530

Here is a super short, quick tip: several of the CPCU® courses discuss a concept called bailment, which is when someone temporarily gives possession of their property to another party. Bailor refers to the original property owner, while bailee refers to the person who temporarily has possession of the property. Distinguishing between the two parties is important to getting your test questions right, but their similarity makes it easy to mix the two up. One easy way to remember the difference? Bailor has an O for owner!

Update: CPCU® 500 has been updated to a newer edition, so the chapters are no longer broken up as outlined below. Our study materials have been updated to reflect the newer edition.

Most of the CPCU courses separate their chapters by topic, with each chapter covering a different subject area that doesn’t necessarily require you to know the information from previous chapters first. CPCU 500, however, is an exception to that rule. The logical progression isn’t obvious, but once you learn about it, it gives you a much better understanding of how the material in each of the chapters relate to one another, thus improving your comprehension.
