A life settlement is the sale of a life insurance policy to a third party for a cash payment less than the full amount of the death benefit -- but for more than the policy surrender value. Proceeds may be used any way the seller sees fit, although they are often used to buy a more cost effective life insurance policy or annuity, purchase long term care insurance, provide cash gifts to family members, etc. With the shift in learning patterns and the prevalence of technology, administrators and educators can now find online learning available virtually everywhere.
