(1) The real party in interest entitled thereto as shown by the insurer's records, or
(2) Any person to whom the right thereto has been assigned in writing of record with the insurer, or
(3) Any person to whom the right thereto has been given in the policy by the real party in interest.
(b) Any person who is shown by the insurer's records to have paid for the person's own account, or to have been ultimately charged for, the premium for insurance provided by a policy in which another person is the nominal insured, shall be deemed the real party in interest proportionate to premium so paid or so charged. This subsection shall not apply as to any such dividend, refund or distribution which would amount to less than $1.
