Subject to the terms of the policy relating to its assignment, life insurance policies, other than group life insurance policies, annuity, and health and accident policies providing benefits for accidental death, and under the terms of which the beneficiary may be changed upon the sole request of the insured, may be assigned either by pledge or transfer of title, by an assignment executed by the insured alone and delivered to the insurer, whether or not the pledgee or assignee is the insurer. This Section shall not prohibit the assignment by the insured of any certificate of insurance issued under a group life insurance policy. Any such assignment shall entitle the insurer to deal with the assignee as the owner or pledgee of the policy in accordance with the terms of the assignment, until the insurer has received at its home office written notice of termination of the assignment or pledge. No insurer shall prohibit the assignment to a viatical settlement provider of a policy otherwise assignable.
