or agent is acting.
B. A trustee of a trust has an insurable interest in the life
of an individual insured under a life insurance policy that is owned

is issued:
1. The insured is:
a. a settlor of the trust, or
b. an individual in whom a settlor of the trust has, or
would have had if living at the time the policy was
issued, an insurable interest; and
2. The life insurance proceeds are primarily for the benefit of
one or more trust beneficiaries that have:
a. an insurable interest in the life of the insured, or
b. a substantial interest engendered by love and
affection in the continuation of the life of the
insured and, if not already included under
