: Structured Settlements 4RealStructured Settlements: Liberty Life Assurance of Boston Strengthens Guarantee of Qualified Assignment Company
By John Darer
Liberty Life Assurance Company of Boston, a subsidiary of Liberty Mutual Insurance Company has made a significant improvement to its structured settlement product offering.
Effective November 1, 2010 qualified structured settlements assigned to Liberty Assignment Corporation will carry the guarantee of Liberty Life Assurance Company of Boston. A company spokesperson said that the new guarantee is in addition to the existing Liberty Mutual guarantee of Liberty Life Assurance Company of Boston.
The new guarantee is a welcome addition and fills the void left when Liberty Mutual stopped issuing surety bonds to back up the qualified assignee on new structured settlements several years ago. Since then, (up until November 1, 2010) the only guarantee in place was the unusual and unique guarantee by parent Liberty Mutual Insurance Company of the annuity issuer (as opposed to the assignee).
The structured settlement process is illustrated in the flow diagram set forth below and gives the reader a better visual of how the two guarantees fit into the picture. The guarantees are also summarized below
