The Definition of a Life Settlement

The life settlement industry has undergone many circumstances and judicial rulings in the last 100 years. A U.S. Supreme Court decision in 1911 (Grigsby v. Russell, 222 U.S. 149) determined in effect that a valid life insurance policy is personal property that may be sold by its owner.

The Life Settlement Industry

The life settlement industry and the actual selling of life insurance policies has been actively used for 20 years. Over this time, billions of dollars of life insurance has been sold between the institutional marketplace and the sellers of policies.

Currently, there are eight states that require an insurance company to notify a client that a life settlement may be an option for them when they are going to surrender or lapse a policy as it may create more value for the policyowner.

The life settlement industry is regulated in most states and brokers and providers are required to be licensed in the state the policyowner resides.

Who is Involved in the Life Settlement Market?

The main parties involved in the life settlement market are the policyowner, insured, life settlement broker, and the intitutional buyer. A life settlement broker, such as Settlement MastersTM, may be an individual or company that works with a policyowner to negotiate offers on its behalf.
