Lawsuit Cash Advance Loans
Lawsuit cash advance loans share the same genre as settlement loans. The difference is the loan’s entire amount is paid in full in advance. In some cases, the finance institution may agree to make monthly payments to help the borrower manage finances more efficiently. Such financing cannot be termed money lending per se, because the lending institution only collects if the recipient’s case is successful. These kinds of ‘non-recourse’ loans do not, fall under the purview of money lending laws.

Viatical Settlements
The concept of viatical settlements works on the premise that a person with a terminal disease can sell his life insurance policy for less than the face value. The person can get lump sum cash and the buyer can collect the benefits of the policy after the original policyholder’s death. It sounds a bit grim but then there are always the harsh aspects of life. The longer the life expectancy, the less expensive the policy. But then life rarely follows a logical road and so the element of risk is there if the original policy holder’s life expectancy increases with the passage of time. It is after all a gamble on death. If the seller dies sooner than expected, you collect a higher return and on the other hand, if the person lives longer than expected, you will collect a lower benefit. Added to this is the fact that you can also end up losing your principal investment if the person lives long enough and you have to pay the additional premiums.

Viatical Settlement Providers
A viatical settlement involves the selling of a life insurance policy by a terminally ill person to unrelated investors who can be private funding companies or brokers. These companies or brokers buy the policy at a reduced rate based on the face value of the policy. They pay a lump sum amount of cash to the seller and on the person’ demise, they collect the death benefits. Grim as this may sound, if the transactions take place in a fair manner, the viatical settlements can provide relief to the terminally ill person in terms of easing the financial strains, which may other wise compound the physical and emotional trauma the person is undergoing.
