Terms Used In Florida Statutes 627.802

  • Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
  • Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
  • Liabilities: The aggregate of all debts and other legal obligations of a particular person or legal entity.
  • Settlement: Parties to a lawsuit resolve their difference without having a trial. Settlements often involve the payment of compensation by one party in satisfaction of the other party's claims.
A domestic life insurance company may establish one or more separate accounts and allocate thereto amounts, including without limitation proceeds applied under optional modes of settlement or under dividend options, to provide for life insurance or annuities, and benefits incidental thereto, payable in fixed or variable amounts or both. All amounts received by the company which are required by contract to be applied to provide variable benefits or values shall be added to the appropriate separate account. If so provided under applicable contracts, that portion of the assets of any such separate account equal to the reserves and other contract liabilities with respect to the account shall not be chargeable with liabilities arising out of any other business the company may conduct. Any deficit from mortality experience which may arise in any such separate account shall be adjusted by additions to the account by the company so that the assets of the account are always at least equal to the assets required to satisfy the obligations of the company.
