33-27-6. Assignment of incidents of ownership in group life insurance policies
Nothing in this title or in any other law shall be construed to prohibit any person insured under a group life insurance policy from making an assignment of all or any part of his incidents of ownership under the policy, including but not limited to the privilege to have issued to him an individual policy of life insurance pursuant and subject to paragraphs (8) and (9) of subsection (a) of Code Section 33-27-3 and Code Section 33-27-5 and the right to name a beneficiary. Subject to the terms of the policy or agreement between the insured, the group policyholder and the insurer relating to assignment of incidents of ownership under the policy, an assignment by an insured made either before or after July 1, 1969, is valid for the purpose of vesting in the assignee, in accordance with any provisions included in the policy as to the time at which it is to be effective, all of the incidents of ownership so assigned without prejudice to the insurer on account of any payment it may make or individual policy it may issue in accordance with paragraphs (8) and (9) of subsection (a) of Code Section 33-27-3 prior to receipt of notice of the assignment.
