Viatical Settlements: Background

Over the last decade, a new marketplace has emmerged for the sale and purchase of viatical settlements, which are sometimes better known as life settlements or senior settlements.

Many older Americans and terminally ill patients struggle with the financial burdens of health care and today's high costs of living. In the late 1980's and early 1990's congress passed important new legislation to help these individuals by classifying life insurance policies as assets.

The new "asset" classification for life insurance now means that individuals can buy and sell life insurance policies, and thus the viatical settlement marketplace. Viatical settlements bring together individuals in need and pools of investors to create cash settlements for the purchase of the life insurance (viatical) policies.

To facilitate and oversee these transactions, Professional Viatical Settlement Consultants match together the sellers and buyers and handle the details and paperwork for the transaction. It's actually surprising how simple these transactions have become. Some have even said it's easier than selling (or buying) a car.

For those who need to sell their viatical settlements, the cash infusion provides the money they need for their many important expenses. For the investors, a consistently strong return* (which has often outperformed the stock market) and the additional ability to purchase these policies within their IRA's make these new investments especially attractive.
