Viatical settlement

Step-by-step explanation:

Here Barney sold his life insurance to 3rd party for less net death benefit value.

He entered into the arrangement called - viatical settlement

A viatical settlement is the sale of a life insurance policy to a third party. The owner of the life insurance policy sells the policy for cash benefit, thus making the buyer the new owner of the policy who will get death benefits.
