AI Summary

  • Adds Section 7114 to the Estates and Protected Individuals Code to establish that a trust's trustee has an insurable interest in the life of an individual insured under a life insurance policy owned by the trustee in a fiduciary capacity or owned by the trust itself.

  • Requires that on the date the policy is issued, the insured must be either a settlor of the trust or an individual in whom a settlor has (or would have had) an insurable interest.

  • Requires that life insurance proceeds be primarily for the benefit of one or more trust beneficiaries who either have an insurable interest in the insured's life or have a substantial interest engendered by love and affection in the insured's continuation of life.

  • Limits beneficiaries with love and affection interests to those related within the third degree to the insured under civil law measurements of kinship, or stepchildren of the insured.
