ance company or other obligor to the executors or administrators of
the person making such designation, unless otherwise provided by
agreement.

taxes, debts, or other charges enforceable against the estate of the
testator, except as provided in Section 162 of Article 81.

any other assets which may properly come into such trust.

affect the validity of any designation heretofore made naming a
trustee or trustees of any trust (established by agreement or decla-
ration of trust or by will or codicil) the beneficiary of such death
benefits, nor the validity of any trust which shall have heretofore re-
ceived any such death benefits.

Sec. 3. And be it further enacted, That this Act shall take effect
