Compliance & Disclosures
Important information about who we are and how a life settlement transaction works.
Draft placeholder — last reviewed August 2026. This page is a structural template only and has not been reviewed by legal counsel. Replace this content with disclosures prepared or approved by Settlement Group's attorney and confirmed against current licensing before this site goes live.
Who we are
Settlement Options specializes in education and outreach in the life settlement and viatical settlement industry. We are not the buyer in a life settlement transaction — we refer qualified individuals to licensed entities that purchase policies. Settlement Options is an affiliate of Settlement Group.
No upfront fees
We do not charge a fee to provide an estimate or to submit your policy information. Any fees associated with a completed transaction are fully disclosed before you're asked to agree to anything.
Non-binding process
Any estimate or offer presented to you is non-binding until you choose to accept it in writing. You are under no obligation to proceed with a life settlement at any point in the process.
Right of rescission
Many states provide policy owners a period of time after closing — commonly 15 to 30 days — during which they may rescind a completed life settlement transaction. This right, and the exact time period, varies by state. Ask your representative for the specific rescission period that applies to you.
Licensing
Life settlement transactions are regulated at the state level, and licensing requirements vary by state and by role in the transaction. [Placeholder: insert Settlement Options' and/or Settlement Group's specific license numbers and states of licensure here once confirmed.]
Taxes
Life settlement proceeds are generally tax-free up to a policy's cost basis, with amounts above that potentially subject to tax. This is general information, not tax advice — consult a qualified tax professional about your specific situation.
