the FBO lives in a community property state, the treatment will be that of Community
Property with Right of Survivorship. On the confirmation of death of any one of the
two signing FBOs, the Forever Business will automatically be transferred to the survivor
of the two. This will be the case regardless of what is stated in a Will of the first FBO
to be deceased. In addition, this means that when two persons have signed on the
Forever Business Owner Application the survivor of the two will be the sole FBO after
the death of the first. If an FBO does not wish this result, they must contact the Home
Office to express his/her needs and to determine ifsuch needs can be accommodated.
Keep in mind that no change in a Forever Business can be made during your lifetime
except in the case of a legal separation or divorce.
(c) If the Distributor application of a legally married person has checked the marital status
box as being Married, but the application only contains the signature of one of the
married parties, the company will treat the Forever Business as being a Joint Tenancy
with Right of Survivorship.
(d) Forever Business Owner applicationsthat have the maritalstatus box checked as being
single and with only one signature will be treated by the company accordingly.
(e) To transfer a single person’s Forever Business on death, such FBO must have a Will or
use of a Grantor’s Trust.
Company Policies and the Code of Professional Conduct Revised 20230807 35
(f) The Company recognizes Joint Tenancy with Right of Survivorship and use of Grantor
Trusts as legal means of holding a Forever Business and in the event of an FBO’s death,
a means of transferring the Forever Business to the Survivor or named beneficiary
respectively without having to go through probate proceeding to get the property to
the intended heir.
(g) Ifthe Forever Businessis held in a Business Entity,the death ofthe primary shareholder
will not remove the Forever Businessfrom the Business Entity so long asthe ownership
of the Business Entity remains in conformity with Company policies governing
ownership of such Business Entity. The transfer will be recognized by the Company
when a court order or legal documents addressing the transfer are submitted to and
approved by the Company.
(h) Within six (6) months following the date of FBO’s death, the surviving FBO, trustee
or estate representative shall provide notification of such death to his/her Domestic
Home Office of FLP. Such notice is to include a certified copy of the death certificate,
a certified copy of the Will or Grantor’s Trust, or Court Order, authorizing the transfer
of the Forever Business to a qualified successor. After six (6) months from the date of
death, FLP may remove the deceased FBO from the Forever Business. Giving timely
notification and providing the required documentation for a successor’s interest, will
be required to prevent a suspension and/or termination of the Forever Business. If
based on valid reasons, a request for a reasonable extension of time to provide transfer
documents may be submitted to the deceased FBO’s FLP Domestic Home Office prior
to the end of the six (6) month period. FLP reserves the right to make payments to
the joint survivor, beneficiary, trustee or legally authorized personal representative
of the estate of a deceased FBO pending the timely submission of appropriate legal
documentation.
(i) The inheritable rights to a Forever Business are limited and restricted as follows:
1) The heir must be a person who can qualify as an FBO.
2) Because the heir must be an adult individual, a trust or guardianship may have to be
established for multiple heirs or minor children. In the event a trust is established,
a copy must be placed on file with FLP. Its terms must clearly allow the trustee to
act as an FBO. A guardian or a trustee of a testamentary trust must be appointed by
the court of proper jurisdiction and receive specific approval to be FBO on behalf of
the minors.
3) A trustee or guardian shall retain the FBO status so long as the Forever Business
Owner agreement is not violated, until the beneficiaries have attained the age of
majority, and an heir accepts the responsibility of operating the Forever Business
with prior approval of the court.
4) A trustee, guardian, spouse or other representative-type FBO shall be responsible
for the actions of the beneficiary, ward, or his/her spouse for purposes of following
the policy terms of the Forever Business Owner agreement. A violation of Company
Policies and the Code of Professional Conduct by any of the above individuals may
result in termination of the Forever Business.
5) The inheritable Forever Business position within the Company Marketing Plan is
limited to recognition at no higher than that of Manager. However, bonuses shall
be paid at the same levels and requirements as held by the deceased. All Sponsored
Managers belonging to the Forever Business will be reclassified as Inherited
Managers, who can subsequently qualify as a Sponsored Managers as outlined in
Section 5.04(e). Forever Business positions below Manager shall be inherited at
36
that level.
18.03 Transfers Due to Divorce.
(a) During a pending divorce or negotiation of a property settlement, FLP will continue
to disburse payments to the FBO as was done prior to the pending action.
(b) In the event of divorce or a legal separation, a legally enforceable property
settlement agreement may decree the Forever Business be granted to one spouse
or the other. The Forever Business cannot, however, be partitioned. Only one adult
individual will be entitled to retain the current downline of this Forever Business.
The other spouse may choose to establish their own Forever Business at the same
level of the Marketing Plan, but no higher than Manager, as established with the
ex-spouse. Such other spouse must use the original sponsor. The other spouse’s
new Forever Businessshall be treated by the sponsor asInherited until re-qualified.

Credits to determine if the move-ups should remain in force.

Combo Pak was returned, and then the Wholesale or Preferred Customer Price of
the missing components will be deducted from the refund issued.
