(b) LIABILITY OF LIFE INSURANCE BENEFIcIARErs. -Section 826 (c) (relating to apportionment of liability of beneficiaries) is amended to read as follows: "(c) LIABILrr OF LIFE INSURANCE BENFICIARIES.- Unless the decedent directs otherwise in his will, if any part of the gross estate upon which tax has been paid consists of proceeds of policies of insur- ance upon the life of the decedent receivable by a beneficiary other than the executor, the executor shall be entitled to recover from such beneficiary such portion of the total tax paid as the proceeds of such policies bear to the sum of the net estate and the amount of the exemption allowed in computing the net estate, determined under section 935 (c). If there is more than one such beneficiary the executor shall be entitled to recover from such beneficiaries in the same ratio." (c) DECEDENTS TO WHICH AMENDMENTs APPLICABLE.-The amend- ments made by subsection (a) shall be applicable only to estates of decedents dying after the date of the enactment of this Act; but in determining the proportion of the premiums or other consideration paid directly or indirectly by the decedent (but not the total pre- miums paid) the amount so paid by the decedent on or before Janu- ary 10, 1941, shall be excluded if at no time after such date the decedent possessed an incident of ownership in the policy.
