N.M. Code R. § 13.9.4.9 – Life Insurance on a Partner or Partners, Officers, Agents and Employees of Partnerships

A. Evidence of authority: Whenever 1) a partnership organized under the laws of this state causes to be insured the life of one or all of the partners or a partnership officer, agent, or employee; and 2) the partnership is named as a beneficiary in or assignee of the life insurance policy, the partnership’s authority to effect, assign, release, relinquish, convert, surrender, change the beneficiary, or to take any other or different action with reference to the insurance shall be demonstrated by a written statement to that effect that is signed by any partner. The statement shall be binding upon the partnership and shall serve as sufficient evidence of partnership authority for purposes of the insurance company. The statement shall protect the insurance company in any action done or suffered by it in good faith reliance on the statement without the need for further inquiry into the validity of the partnership authority or the regularity of the partnership proceedings.
B. Actions of partners: No person shall be disqualified, by reason of interest in the subject matter, from acting as a partner of the partnership on any partnership action relating to this type of insurance.
