viatical
A viatical is a type of agreement where a person with a terminal or chronic illness sells their life insurance policy at a discount from its face value to a third party in exchange for immediate cash. The third party, often a viatical settlement company, then becomes the beneficiary of the policy and receives the full amount of the death benefit when the original policy holder dies. This term is often used in the context of viatical settlements.
