1668.1
. In addition to the grounds set forth in Section 1668, the
following acts shall constitute cause to suspend or revoke any
permanent license issued pursuant to this chapter:
(a) The licensee has induced a client, whether directly or
indirectly, to cosign or make a loan, make an investment, make a
gift, including a testamentary gift, or provide any future benefit
through a right of survivorship to the licensee, or to any of the
persons listed in subdivision (e).
(b) The licensee has induced a client, whether directly or
indirectly, to make the licensee or any of the persons listed in
subdivision (e) a beneficiary under the terms of any intervivos or
testamentary trust or the owner or beneficiary of a life insurance
policy or an annuity policy.
(c) The licensee has induced a client, whether directly or
indirectly, to make the licensee, or a person who is registered as a
domestic partner of the licensee, or is related to the licensee by
birth, marriage, or adoption, a trustee under the terms of any
intervivos or testamentary trust. However, if the licensee is also
licensed as an attorney in any state, the licensee may be made a
trustee under the terms of any intervivos or testamentary trust,
provided that the licensee is not a seller of insurance to the
trustor of the trust.
(d) The licensee, who has a power of attorney for a client has
sold to the client or has used the power of attorney to purchase an
insurance product on behalf of the client for which the licensee has
received a commission.
(e) Subdivisions (a) and (b) shall also apply if the licensee
induces the client to provide the benefits in those subdivisions to
the following people:
(1) A person who is related to the licensee by birth, marriage, or
adoption.
(2) A person who is a friend or business acquaintance of the
licensee.
(3) A person who is registered as a domestic partner of the
licensee.
(f) This section shall not apply to situations in which the client
is:
(1) A person related to the licensee by birth, marriage, or
adoption.
(2) A person who is registered as a domestic partner of the
licensee.
