(215 ILCS 5/245.1) (from Ch. 73, par. 857.1)
Sec. 245.1. Assignability of life insurance.
No provision of the Illinois Insurance Code, or any other law prohibits
an insured under any policy of life insurance, or any other person who may
be the owner of any rights under such policy, from making an assignment of
all or any part of his rights and privileges under the policy including but
not limited to the right to designate a beneficiary thereunder and to have
an individual policy issued in accordance with paragraphs (G), (H), and (K) of Section 231.1 of the Illinois Insurance Code. Subject to the terms of the
policy or any contract relating thereto, an assignment by an insured or by
any other owner of rights under the policy, made before or after the
effective date of this amendatory Act of 1969 is valid for the purpose of
vesting in the assignee, in accordance with any provisions included therein
as to the time at which it is effective, all rights and privileges so
assigned. However, such assignment is without prejudice to the company on
account of any payment it makes or individual policy it issues in
accordance with paragraphs (d) and (g) of Section 231 before receipt of
notice of the assignment. This amendatory Act of 1969 acknowledges,
declares and codifies the existing right of assignment of interests under
life insurance policies.
