petitions (ROA 13); (4) the various notices of hearing (ROA 9, 24); and (5) the declaration of Michael Rodden (ROA 30). Based on those documents and exhibits, the court makes the following findings as required by Insurance Code sections 10137 and 10139.5(a): (1) The transfer is fair and reasonable and in the best interest of Payee, taking into account the welfare and support of her dependents; (2) Payee has been advised in writing by Petitioner to seek independent professional advice regarding the transfer and has either received that advice or knowingly waived, in writing, the opportunity to receive the advice; (3) Petitioner has provided Payee with a disclosure form that complies with Insurance Code section 10136, and the transfer agreement complies with Insurance Code sections 10136 and 10138; (4) The transfer does not contravene any applicable statute or the order of any court or other government authority and otherwise complies with the requirements of Insurance Code section 10134, et seq.; (5) Payee understands the terms of the transfer agreement, including the terms set forth in the disclosure statement required by Insurance Code section 10136; and (6) Payee understands and does not wish to exercise her right to cancel the transfer agreement.

Moreover, through Payee’s supplemental declaration Petitioner has established Payee’s residence and that venue is proper in this court. Based on the foregoing, the second amended petition is GRANTED. Petitioner’s counsel is ordered to submit a proposed order approving the transfer consistent with the requirements of Insurance Code section 10134 et seq., and to give notice of this ruling.
