Life Contingent Settlements

What is a Life Contingent Structured Settlement?

Quite simply, it is a stream of structured settlement payments that will be paid to you as long as you are alive. The settlement is designed to provide you with a stream of income while you are alive.

How is it different than a “traditional” Structured Settlement?

What people consider to be a traditional structured settlement is one that consists of guaranteed payments made on certain dates. Meaning that the payment set out in the original agreement will be paid regardless of whether or not the registered annuitant is alive.

So, if you have $1,000 coming to you and you pass away, your beneficiary (or your estate) will continue to receive the $1,000 on the agreed upon date for as long as the original structured settlement’s terms last.

A life-contingent structured settlement, however, is one that is only paid while the annuitant is alive. This means that the annuitant must be alive on the date the payment is due in order for the payment to be paid. Once the annuitant is no longer alive, the payments stop. There is no transfer to a beneficiary.

Selling a Life Contingent Structured Settlement

Not to worry. SenecaOne may be able to purchase your life-contingent settlement.
