Terms Used In Alaska Statutes 21.69.630

  • Assets: (1) The property comprising the estate of a deceased person, or (2) the property in a trust account.
  • Equitable: Pertaining to civil suits in "equity" rather than in "law." In English legal history, the courts of "law" could order the payment of damages and could afford no other remedy. See damages. A separate court of "equity" could order someone to do something or to cease to do something. See, e.g., injunction. In American jurisprudence, the federal courts have both legal and equitable power, but the distinction is still an important one. For example, a trial by jury is normally available in "law" cases but not in "equity" cases. Source: U.S. Courts
(b) The distributive share of each member shall be in the proportion that the aggregate premiums earned by the insurer on the policies of the member during the combined periods of that member’s membership bear to the aggregate of all premiums earned on the policies of all the members. The insurer may, and if a life insurer shall, make a reasonable classification of its policies held by the members, and a formula based upon the classification, for determining the equitable distributive share of each member. The classification and formula is subject to the approval of the director.
