In addition to the grounds set forth in Section 1668, the following acts shall constitute cause to suspend or revoke any permanent license issued pursuant to this chapter:
(a) The licensee has induced a client, whether directly or indirectly, to cosign or make a loan, make an investment, make a gift, including a testamentary gift, or provide any future benefit through a right of survivorship to the licensee, or to any of the persons listed in subdivision (e).
(b) The licensee has induced a client, whether directly or indirectly, to make the licensee or any of the persons listed in subdivision (e) a beneficiary under the terms of any intervivos or testamentary trust or the owner or beneficiary of a life insurance policy or an annuity policy.

(1) A person who is related to the licensee by birth, marriage, or adoption.
(2) A person who is a friend or business acquaintance of the licensee.
(3) A person who is registered as a domestic partner of the licensee.
