LIFE SETTLEMENT
The act of selling a life insurance policy to a third party for a one-time cash payment. Similar to viatical settlement, the third party now becomes the primary beneficiary of the insurance policy and begins paying the premiums. When the seller dies, the buyer will receive the death benefit from that insurance policy. Normally, policy buyer is an seasoned institutional investor, and typically policies have face amounts that exceed $250,000. Some policyholders choose to sell their insurance policy and reinvest the funds.
