No life or health insurance contract upon an individual, except a contract of group life insurance or of group or blanket health insurance, shall be made or effectuated unless at the time of the making of the contract the individual insured, being of competent legal capacity to contract, applies therefor or has consented thereto in writing, except in the following cases:
(1) A spouse may effectuate such insurance upon the other spouse;
(2) Any person having an insurable interest in the life of a minor, or any person upon whom a minor is dependent for support and maintenance may effectuate insurance upon the life of or pertaining to such minor;
(3) Family policies may be issued insuring any 2 or more members of a family on an application signed by either parent, a stepparent or by a husband or wife;
(4) An employer, or the trustee of a trust described in § 2704(c)(3) of this title, may effectuate insurance under an employer-owned life insurance policy, as defined in § 2704(e) of this title, upon any employee in whom it has an insurable interest, and the employer or trustee, as the case may be, shall not be required to notify employees of the effectuation of such insurance or obtain their consent. The insurer and any investment sub-advisors shall use best efforts to direct securities transactions relating to such employer-owned variable life insurance policies utilizing separate accounts, through a securities agent licensed and located in this State, as opposed to a securities agent licensed and located in another state, unless a better price for the identical security (securities) is available through the securities agent located in that other state.
