Definition
- A life settlement represents the sale of an existing insurance policy to a third party. In a life settlement, as contrasted with other relationships, the third party does not have an insurable interest in the life of the insured: that is, the purchaser does not have an “interest” in the continuing life of the insured in the manner of a traditional beneficiary, who is usually related to the insured (spouse, sibling, child, etc.).
