(c)  No  transfer of structured settlement payment rights shall extend to any payments that are life-contingent unless, prior to  the  date  on which  the  payee  signs  the  transfer  agreement,  the  transferee has established  and  has   agreed   to   maintain   procedures   reasonably satisfactory to the annuity issuer and the structured settlement obligor for  (i)  periodically  confirming the payee's survival, and (ii) giving the annuity issuer and the structured settlement obligor prompt  written notice in the even of the payee's death.  (d)  No payee who proposes to make a transfer of structured settlement payment rights shall incur any penalty, forfeit any application  fee  or other  payment,  or  otherwise  incur  any  liability  to  the  proposed transferee or any assignee based on any  failure  of  such  transfer  to satisfy the conditions of this title.  (e)  Nothing  contained  in this title shall be construed to authorize any transfer of structured settlement payment rights in contravention of any statute or to imply that any transfer  under  a  transfer  agreement entered  into  prior  to  the  effective  date of this title is valid or invalid.  (f) Compliance with the requirements set forth in  section  5-1703  of this title and fulfillment of the conditions set forth in section 5-1705 of  this  title  shall be solely the responsibility of the transferee in any transfer of structured settlement payment rights,  and  neither  the structured  settlement  obligor  nor  the  annuity issuer shall bear any responsibility for, or any liability arising from,  non-compliance  with such requirements or failure to fulfill such conditions.  (g)  The  assignee of any transfer agreement or any agreement executed in connection therewith, shall be subject to all claims and defenses  of the  payee  against  the transferee arising from such transfer agreement notwithstanding any agreement to the contrary. Recovery hereunder by the payee shall not exceed the amount owing to the assignee at the time  the claim  or  defense is asserted against the assignee.
