What is a Life Settlement?What is a Life Settlement? In 1911 the Supreme Court ruled in Grigsby Vs Russell that

insurance policies are legally viewed as financial assets which may be sold to a third party, just as any other tangible investment can be sold at the owner's discretion.

Life Settlements are an important development in the financial services industry in that they have opened a large and growing secondary market for life insurance in which policy owners can access fair market value for their policies, rather than letting the policy lapse or accepting the lower cash surrender value from the issuing life insurance company.

Many states now require Insurance Companies to advise their insured's of this market place as an option to letting a policy lapse or cancelling for the current cash values

Defining the Terms Defining the Terms A Life Settlement is a financial transaction in which a life

insurance policy owner possessing an unneeded or unwanted life insurance policy sells the policy to a third party at a discount of the face value. Generally speaking, life settlements represent insureds which are 65 years of age or older with life expectancies ranging between 3 and 15 years. These insureds typically have age related health concerns.

A Viatical Settlement is a financial transaction in which a terminally ill life insurance policy owner sells their policy to a third party at a discount of the face value. Viatical‘s typicaly represent insureds with a life expectancy of 2 years or less.

the investor collects the benefit.
