Seems like people will figure out how to make a buck out of anything. Lately, this includes death. Don't get me wrong: Since the dawn of man a lot of people have been making a lot of money on death. Death sells, for the reason that it is the big unavoidable. Morticians and those who sell burial plots are getting ready to go through their biggest up cycle ever as the baby boomers start cashing it in. And life insurance has always been a very lucrative business, though the trouble with life insurance is that you actually have to die to reap the benefit of it.
Not anymore. Seems like some very bright people have figured out a way for you to make money on your life insurance before you die. No, it does not involve being placed into a time machine and being teleported to some future date right after you've been lowered into the ground where you collect on your own policy and then get zapped back to the present where you can spend it. It doesn't involve you faking your death, either.
Nope, these very bright people have figured out a way for you to make money on your own death before you die, in a way that doesn't involve fraud or teleporting. To the contrary, they will show you how to create vast amounts of cash - hundreds of thousands of dollars if not more - seemingly out of thin air without you having to do much than take a medical, signs some forms, receive the check, and then of course at some future date die at your leisure.
The one sure thing about anything this good is that it is sure to get a bunch of other folks all riled up, and indeed this strategy has of late come under some serious scrutiny with some other very bright people claiming that there are some significant and hidden downsides to the strategy. What? You can't get something for nothing? If it is too good then it is not true?
Somewhere between the very bright people who claim that you can make money off your death before you die, and the very bright people who claim that you can't, lies the truth. To find that truth you must first understand the concept of a "life settlement", and to understand that, you must understand what its immediate predecessor, the "viatical settlement" are all about.
