Get Your Free QuoteA life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy to a third party for more than its cash surrender value but less than its death benefit.
Many policyholders don't realize their life insurance is a financial asset that can be sold. Whether you can no longer afford the premiums, your beneficiaries no longer need the protection, or your financial situation has changed, selling your policy can unlock significant cash.
Our team works with multiple licensed life settlement providers to ensure you receive competitive offers and the highest possible payout for your policy.
Most policyholders receive 2-5 times more through a life settlement than by surrendering their policy.
What the insurance company pays you to cancel your policy. Typically much lower than your policy's actual market value.
What third-party buyers will pay for your policy. On average, policyholders receive four times or more through a life settlement than surrendering.
Cash surrender value is based on the policy's cash accumulation. A life settlement value is based on the policy's death benefit, your age, health status, and current market conditions.
The amount you can receive depends on: The type of policy you have, your policy's premiums, your age, and your health status. Our team shops multiple licensed providers to ensure you receive competitive offers based on your specific situation.
*According to the Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA), policyholders who sell their life insurance policies receive an average of four times or more than they would from surrendering their policy back to the insurance company. Individual results vary based on age, health, policy type, and market conditions.
