Settlements Explained

A Life Settlement is the sale of a life insurance policy in exchange for a cash settlement in excess of the policy’s cash surrender value—even if none exists! This innovative wealth and estate planning tool removes the burden of expensive insurance premium payments in addition to providing the lump sum cash settlement.

Life Settlements present a unique opportunity to extract the maximum value from your existing life insurance policy and repurpose those funds for whatever your financial needs may be. In fact, seniors can use the cash settlement for medical expenses, living expenses, or anything they desire—with no restrictions.

Life Settlements can be a valuable financial option. The inflow of funds and elimination of expensive premiums open up new financial possibilities. This transaction is often seen as converting a future asset into an available resource. Remember, a successful financial outcome never happens by accident.
