Case Summary on a 82 year old female

The planned giving professional at an assisted living facility contacted us regarding this case.  He had a client who could no longer afford the care of his facility.  She had previously donated her own life insurancy policy to the facility, with the promise to continue making premium payments, which she also could no longer afford.  Seeking creative solutions that would allow his client to stay at the facility, he asked for an evaluation of this charity-owned $1,000,000 universal life policy.  After shopping the marketplace, we determined the fair market value of the policy to be $150,000, which they decided to accept.  The proceeds were used to pay for the client’s care and create a win-win situation for everybody.

Case Summary on a 71 year old male

This client approached us about conducting a policy evaluation on his $200,000 universal life policy.  With his premiums of a little over $12,000 annually and no surrender value left in the policy, he no longer wanted to maintain the coverage.  Although it is more difficult to gather bids on smaller face values, we were able to get 4 competitive bids on this case.  The client accepted the bid of $54,000.

Case Summary on a 66 year old male

This client approached SBA about his desire to appraise a term life policy that he was not going to convert and was going to lapse.  We shopped the market extensively on his $2,000,000 term policy and were able to secure a high bid of over $230,000.  The client gladly accepted and used the proceeds to pay off debt.
