Insurance
Based Cash Flows
Inheritances
and Trusts are a
form of Insurance-based Income Streams that are quite common. Many
people don’t realize they can sell these to their advantage. For
instance, say Great Aunt Penelope dies and leaves you $40,000 in an
inheritance. It will take months, and possibly years, for this to go
through probate, etc, depending on who is contesting what. Your Cash
Flow Specialist will be able to put you in touch with a Funding Source
that has legal resources to find out about how long it will take, and
they will buy your inheritance. You will get a lump sum of money now
to invest or vacation with, and the Funding Source will wait for the
court hassles.
Parents close your eyes,
and don’t show this next paragraph to your kids. Say you are 18
years old, and Great Uncle Charlie leaves you money in a Trust, with
the stipulation that you can’t touch it until you are 21 years old.
However, you need the money for college now or something equally
responsible. Contact your Cash Flow Specialist, he will put you in
touch with a Funding Source that can get you your lump sum money now,
and he will wait until you are 21 to get his money. You pay for
college, (take a trip to Mardi Gras, are your parents’ eyes still
closed?), or invest in a business, all before you turn 19.

Structured
Settlements can also
be sold. If Larry was injured, and won a settlement in a court case,
he may be receiving monthly payments over a period of years, or
possibly for the rest of his life. Larry could sell a portion of those
payments for a lump sum now to reinvest, or get some special medical
treatment, and rehab equipment. A Judgement would work much the same
way. If you receive payments in a Judgement case, you can sell those
payments for cash now.

Funeral
Purchase Assignments
are Income Streams that can be sold for cash now. Many times a Funeral
Director will take his payment out of an insurance policy rather than
demand cash up front. (Contrary to popular belief, Funeral Directors
are NOT out to gouge people in their moment of greatest hurt.) This is
a compassionate thing for the Funeral Director to do because
everything he does is on a cash basis. He pays for caskets, police
escort services, limousines, cemetery fees, etc, all in cash. A casket
company can’t repossess a casket that is in the ground. Police
Escorts can’t put a lien on a burial, etc. They all demand payment
in cash. So, if the Funeral Director waits to be paid by waiting for
the policy to fund, he can be put in a bind. Say he has several cases
in a short time that can only fund when the insurance policy funds,
the Funeral Director may experience a cash flow problem. If you are a
funeral director or work for one, contact a Cash Flow Specialist. He
can direct you to a Funding Source that will buy up your Funeral
Purchase Assignments, give you cash now to meet your needs and help
your clients.

Viatical
Settlements are an
increasing source of cash flow for people who are unfortunate enough
to need it. My heart goes out to people who find they have contracted
terminal Cancer, AIDS or some other terminal condition. If you find
yourself in this situation be very careful in your selection of a Cash
Flow Specialist and a Funding Source. Unfortunately, there are some
out there who will take advantage of those in need, but a qualified,
compassionate Cash Flow Specialist will have a list of Funding Sources
that will be able to help you out. Say you had a $500,000 life
insurance policy. You could sell off part of that policy to take a
final trip with your husband, wife, or family to make some lasting
memories. Maybe you want to try a treatment that is not covered by
your insurance company. Your Life Insurance Policy can be a source of
health care and medical attention now that could save your life or at
least make it more comfortable in your last years. Again, I am sorry
if you are in a condition where you need to take advantage of this.
But rest assured, there are professionals who will help you to get the
most out of your insurance policy and your life.
