Banking Without Guarantees? Public Policy Considerations Concerning Insurance Company Retained Asset Accounts, Jill M. Bisco, Chad G. Marzen

University of Baltimore Law Review

During a child’s early years, many lessons are learned about the way the world operates. There are many lessons about language— schoolchildren learn how to write cursive, to write paragraphs, and also how to spell. There are lessons about the various continents and countries around the world, the various cultures, and the various careers one can pursue after entering into adulthood. Amidst these lessons, many will receive a piggy bank for the first time to learn the value of saving money. Over time, the value of the money in a piggy bank sometimes yields a surprise. Around a person’s teenage …

Divorce And Life Insurance: Post Modern Remedies For Breach Of A Duty To Maintain A Policy For A Designated Beneficiary, Kelvin H. Dickinson Jun 1996

Divorce And Life Insurance: Post Modern Remedies For Breach Of A Duty To Maintain A Policy For A Designated Beneficiary, Kelvin H. Dickinson

Missouri Law Review

In the last two centuries, life insurance has attained a place of prominence in most Americans' financial and domestic affairs, and a preference in our law. This article examines the application of legal and equitable remedies after the death of an insured who was subject to a life insurance mandate but failed to comply fully with its terms. The author finds that many problems stem from the failure of the parties, their lawyers, and judges, to develop a clear understanding of the purposes to be served by each mandate, and from poorly drafted mandates whose application is unclear in marginal …

Domestic Relations Alimony And Child Support Generally: Amend Child Support Calculations, Vicki Lynn Bell

Georgia State University Law Review

The Act amends the method for calculating child support awards to require fact finders in divorce cases to consider eighteen factors before determining the child support obligations of the parents. If, after considering these factors, the court finds the statutory set percentage of gross income either inadequate or excessive, the court must vary the child support obligation accordingly. The Act enhances the “Final Decree and Order” form to require additional information regarding how the child support calculation was determined. The Act allows judges to order one or both parents to obtain and maintain life insurance for the benefit of their …


Regulating Viatical Settlements: Is The Invisible Hand Picking The Pockets Of The Terminally Ill?, Russell J. Herron Jun 1995

Regulating Viatical Settlements: Is The Invisible Hand Picking The Pockets Of The Terminally Ill?, Russell J. Herron

University of Michigan Journal of Law Reform

The newly emerging viatical settlement industry has attracted considerable attention from both insurance regulators and advocates for the terminally ill. In a viatical settlement, a terminally ill person names a viatical settlement company as beneficiary under his life insurance policy in exchange for an immediate lump-sum cash payment of less than face value of the policy. To date, viatical settlement payments to people with AIDS (PWAs) have been disturbingly low as a percentage of the face value of PWA policies. This Note examines the few enacted viatical settlement regulations and the National Association of Insurance Commissioners' model regulations as they …

Estate Tax--Life Insurance--Section 2035 As A Basis For Including Life Insurance Proceeds In The Gross Estate Of An Insured Who Paid Premiums On A Policy Owned By Another Person, Michigan Law Review

Michigan Law Review

If a decedent possessed any of the incidents of ownership of a life insurance policy, or if the policy proceeds were payable to his executor, the entire amount of the insurance proceeds is included in his estate for estate tax purposes under section 2042 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1954 (Code). However, if the decedent had transferred ownership of the policy to another person in a transaction that both met the requirements of section 2042 and was not regarded as "in contemplation of death," but continued to pay the insurance premiums until his death, it is unclear whether any …
