Frequently Asked Questions
Are life settlements legal in Wyoming?
Yes. Life settlements are fully legal in Wyoming. However, unlike many states, Wyoming does not have a dedicated life settlement act. Transactions are governed under general insurance and contract law.
Does Wyoming require a specific life settlement license?
No. Wyoming does not impose a state-specific licensing requirement for life settlement brokers or providers. General insurance licensing and consumer protection regulations still apply.
Do Wyoming residents pay state tax on life settlement proceeds?
No. Wyoming has no state income tax, so life settlement proceeds are only subject to federal income tax. This makes Wyoming one of the most tax-favorable states for life settlements in the country.
Do ranch and energy industry policies qualify?
