Glossary · Doing the deal
In short
A complete and irreversible transfer of rights from one party to another, without any conditions or reservations. In SBA loans, this refers to the assignment of life insurance policy rights.
When life insurance is required, the policy must be unconditionally assigned to the lender. This means the lender has absolute claim to the policy proceeds up to the loan balance, overriding any other beneficiaries. Ensure your insurance agent understands this requirement to avoid closing delays.
