Current as of January 01, 2025 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

(a) In this section, “settlor” means a person that executes a trust instrument. The term includes a person for which a fiduciary 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 by the trustee of the trust acting in a fiduciary capacity or that designates the trust itself as the owner if, on the date the policy 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 subparagraph (A), who are:

(i) Related within a third degree or closer, as measured by the civil law system of determining degrees of relation, either by blood or law, to the insured; or

(ii) stepchildren of the insured, or children of the insured's stepchild, either by blood or law.

(c) This section shall be part of the  1 supplemental to the Kansas uniform trust code.

1 So in enrolled bill; the word “the” should probably be “and”.
