§ 48-18-406. Release or assignment of life insurance on officers.

When a corporation, organized under the laws of this state, has caused or shall cause to be insured the life of any director, officer, agent, or employee, or when such corporation is named as a beneficiary in or assignee of any policy of life insurance, due authority to effect, assign, release, relinquish, convert, surrender, change the beneficiary, or to take any other action with reference to such insurance shall be sufficiently evidenced to the insurance company by a written statement to that effect, signed by the president or secretary or other corresponding officer of such corporation. Such statement shall be binding upon such corporation, and any act done or suffered to be done by it upon the faith thereof shall protect the insurance company concerned, without further inquiry into the validity of the corporate authority or the regularity of the corporate proceedings. No person shall be disqualified, by reason of interest in the subject matter, from acting as a director or as a member of the executive committee of such corporation, on any corporate procedure touching such insurance.
