(e) An attorney-in-fact may consent to the issuance of a policy on the person that appointed the attorney-in-fact for the limited purpose of replacing one or more policies with one or more new policies if, as the result of the replacement, the aggregate amount of life insurance on the person remains the same or decreases;

(f) A trustee of a revocable trust may consent to the issuance of a policy on the life of a settlor of the trust; and
