A policy of life insurance may designate as beneficiary a

the insurance company. The trustee or trustees may be appointed

immediately after the proving of the will, and, upon appointment and

administered; but if no qualified trustee makes claim to the

proceeds from the insurance company within twelve (12) months after

the death of the insured, or if satisfactory evidence is furnished

to the insurance company within such twelve-month period showing

that there is or will be no trustee to receive the proceeds, payment

shall be made by the insurance company to the executors,

administrators or assigns of the insured, unless otherwise provided

by agreement with the insurance company during the lifetime of the
