Senior Viatical Settlements

Senior settlements are different than viatical settlements. Viatical settlements involve the selling of the life insurance policy by a person who is terminally ill and whose life expectancy has been predicted to about two years or so. The policyholder may need cash either to ease his financial strains, or to leave something for his children or grandchildren, or to pay for his funeral dues, as the case may be. For this, he can sell his life insurance policy for a lump sum amount to an investor, who would then get the death benefits of the policyholder on his demise. There is a high level of risk involved in this transaction because life expectancy can never be predicted accurately. If the person outlives the predicted period, the investor stands to lose, as he will get lower returns. He may also lose his principal amount if the seller lives long enough and so the investor would have to pay the additional premiums also.

Buyers of Structured Settlements

Structured settlements can be bought as an investment or provided as a compensatory payment to an injured party. Hence, these settlements can be used when receiving periodic payments or can sold either by parts or as a full settlement to raise a lump sum.
