Insurable interest, life insurance; exception when certain
institutions designated beneficiary.
A. Life insurance contracts may be entered into in which the person paying the

insured, where charitable, benevolent, educational or religious institutions or their
agencies are designated irrevocably as the beneficiaries thereof.
B. In making such contracts the person paying the premium shall make and sign the
application therefor as owner, and shall designate irrevocably a charitable, benevolent,
educational or religious institution or an agency thereof as the beneficiary or
beneficiaries of such contract. The application shall be signed also by the individual
whose life is to be insured.
C. Nothing in this section shall prohibit any combination of the applicant, premium
payer, owner and beneficiary from being the same person.

notwithstanding the absence otherwise of an insurable interest in the life of the
individual insured.
