Simple English definitions for legal terms

viator

Read a random definition: dominating patent

A quick definition of viator:

A viator is someone who can have two meanings. Firstly, it can refer to an apparitor, which is a person who serves legal documents or carries out official duties. Secondly, it can refer to someone who is very sick and has a life insurance policy. This person can sell their policy to someone else for a lump sum of money.

A more thorough explanation:

Term: Viator
Definition: A viator is someone who is either an apparitor or a terminally/chronically ill life-insurance policyholder who sells their policy to a third party for a lump-sum payment that is a percentage of the policy's face value.
Examples:
  • John works as a viator for the court, serving legal documents to people.
  • Mary is a viator who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness. She decides to sell her life-insurance policy to a third party for a lump-sum payment.
The first example illustrates the definition of viator as an apparitor. An apparitor is someone who serves legal documents to people, and John is described as a viator who does this for the court. The second example illustrates the definition of viator as a terminally/chronically ill life-insurance policyholder who sells their policy to a third party for a lump-sum payment. Mary is described as a viator who has been diagnosed with a terminal illness and decides to sell her life-insurance policy for a lump-sum payment.

@windyMagician: not at all. Michigan is also very generous with aid, so if you get enough it makes perfect sense to take it.

I’m sure you’ll get good merit aid though. Look at Michigan’s 509 report. They’re very generous.
