These are programs that claim to offer a lump sum payment in return for selling to the company your insurance contract. Since it is being sold prior to your death, the policy is sold at a discount from face value. When you die, the difference between the face amount and the amount that the company paid you for the policy is profit.

There are various other names for this type of transaction. If you are considering it, you must evaluate whether it is in your, and your survivors' best interests to do so. The problem is that since life insurance is bought as protection for the survivors of the insured, the risk exists that they will have substantially less protection at that time because life insurance proceeds will have been depleted.

If you are considering this type of transaction, it is important to "comparison shop". That is, providers of this service vary in the percentage of face value that they will pay and in other terms of the transaction.

Finally, providers of these services are increasingly becoming subject to state licensure requirements. Therefore, it is important to check with your state's insurance regulatory authority to determine if there is a licensure requirement. If so, make sure that the company with which you are considering has the requisite licensure.
