Association Lauds FASB Decision on Valuation of Life Settlement Contracts

The Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA) today praised the Financial Accounting Standards Board's (FASB) amended position on the valuation of Life Settlement Contracts.

A life settlement contract -- generally referred to more simply as a life settlement -- is the sale to a third party of an existing life insurance policy for more than its cash surrender value but less than its net death benefit. Such transactions are usually undertaken for the purposes of estate or financial planning.
