About Berkshire Hathaway Life
Berkshire Hathaway Life Insurance Company of Nebraska (BHLN) is one of the most active structured settlement annuity issuers in the current market, backed by the Berkshire Hathaway group. Many settlements funded in the last fifteen years - and many court-approved transfer reinvestments - are BHLN contracts.
Berkshire Hathaway Life continues to write or service structured settlement annuities today.
How Transfers Work with Berkshire Hathaway Life
BHLN is deeply familiar with the secondary market and processes qualified transfer orders efficiently. Its benefits letters are clear and its acknowledgment turnaround is generally among the faster in the industry.
Before you get quotes, know about Berkshire's own buy-back option. Berkshire runs a Hardship Exchange Program that repurchases payments directly from its annuitants in genuine hardship situations, typically at far better pricing than any outside buyer can offer. If that might be you, read our complete guide to the Hardship Exchange Program before signing anything with anyone - including us.
Every transfer, regardless of issuer, requires approval by a judge under your state's Structured Settlement Protection Act. See how court approval works and your state's rules.
What You Need to Get a Quote
To get an accurate quote for payments issued by Berkshire Hathaway Life, have these ready:

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I sell my Berkshire Hathaway Life structured settlement payments?
Yes. Structured settlement payment rights can be sold regardless of which insurance company issues the annuity, subject to court approval under your state's Structured Settlement Protection Act. Berkshire Hathaway Life continues to write or service structured settlement annuities today.
Does the insurance company have to approve my sale?
The issuer does not decide whether you can sell - a judge does. The issuer's role is to acknowledge the court order and redirect the sold payments to the buyer. Issuers process these transfers routinely.
Will selling affect my remaining payments?
No. Any payments you keep continue exactly as scheduled. In a partial sale, the issuer splits your payments per the court order: the sold portion goes to the buyer and the rest still comes to you.
What is the Berkshire Hathaway Hardship Exchange Program?
It is Berkshire's own buy-back program for annuitants facing genuine financial hardship. Because Berkshire is retiring its own obligation rather than investing, its pricing typically beats any secondary-market offer. It only applies to Berkshire-issued annuities and uses a hardship standard stricter than court review - many reasons for selling do not qualify. See our full guide to the program for how it works and when it does not apply.
