Commutation Agreement

Categories: Regulations

A commutation agreement is an agreement between two insurance companies to settle all contractual arrangements between them. The former owner/company and the new company agree on book of business value, terms, and payment process.

Compare this mash-up of a transaction to that of buying a car. The previous owner sets the value of the car, determines the payment process, and relinquishes ownership upon payment.
