Your Life Insurance policy has a hidden value that can be
turned into immediate cash through a transaction called a Life
Settlement.
Your Life Insurance policy is more than a death benefit – it
also has value that you can access today. Life Insurance
is a form of personal property; like your home, car or other
valuable assets. Just like these assets, your Life Insurance
policy can be sold for its fair market value. When a
Life Insurance policy is sold for its market value, this is
called a Life Settlement.
In a Life Settlement, the purchase price is less than the
face amount of the policy, but more than its net cash surrender
value. The policy is purchased for a lump sum payment
to the policy-owner, and ownership and future premium payments
are assumed by the buyer, who also becomes the beneficiary
of the policy.
Life Insurance is traditionally purchased to provide financial
solutions for family or business needs. Over time however,
needs and circumstances often change, When changes make a policy
unwanted or unneeded, your choices have historically been to
terminate or lapse the policy, or to surrender it to the insurance
company for its cash surrender value. Now, you have another
option – to capitalize on its market value through a
Life Settlement
