Frequently Asked Questions
Are life settlements legal in Tennessee?
Yes. Tennessee has comprehensive life settlement legislation under the Tennessee Viatical Settlements Act (Tenn. Code Ann. § 56-50). All providers and brokers must be licensed by the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance.
What is the rescission period in Tennessee?
Tennessee provides a 15-day rescission period after contract execution, during which the policyowner can cancel the life settlement transaction without penalty.
Can retirees who moved to Tennessee settle policies from their previous state?
Yes. Policyowners who have relocated to Tennessee can settle life insurance policies originally issued in other states. The transaction is governed by Tennessee's regulatory requirements as the owner's state of residence.
How does Tennessee's tax-free environment affect life settlement decisions?
With no state income tax and no estate tax, many Tennessee residents find that life insurance policies purchased for tax planning in their previous state are no longer necessary. A life settlement can convert these unneeded policies into significant cash value.
How long does a life settlement take in Tennessee?
Most Tennessee life settlement cases close within 60–120 days. Timeline factors include medical record retrieval, insurance carrier cooperation, and institutional buyer evaluation of the policy.
