1. Life Settlements: Understanding The Benefits Of And Properly Utilizing The Secondary Insurance Market Presented By Doug Himmel

2. WHAT IS A LIFE SETTLEMENT? A Life Settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy to a third party via the secondary institutional market in exchange for an immediate lump sum cash payment that is less than the policy’s face value, but higher than the policy’s cash surrender value. In a Life Settlement, the policy owner is relieved from making future premium payments.

3. LIFE SETTLEMENTS HISTORICAL BACKGROUND US Supreme Court Laid The Foundation Case of Grigsby v. Russell (1911)  Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes noted in his opinion that life insurance possessed all the ordinary characteristics of property, and therefore represented an asset that a policy owner could transfer without limitation.  This opinion placed the ownership rights in a life insurance policy on the same legal footing as more traditional investment property such as stocks and bonds. As with these other types of property, a life insurance policy could be transferred to another person at the discretion of the policy owner.
