Why consider a Life Settlement?

We get asked a lot of questions including, why would anyone want to sell their life insurance policy? Wasn’t the policy purchased to provide a death benefit to the family?

Typically, we find that most people simply no longer have a need for the coverage or can no longer afford the premium payments. Sometimes, the purpose for which it was purchased no longer exists.

Reasons such as:

  • The estate has been reduced to a point that the tax burden no longer requires coverage to pay the estate tax.
  • The spouse/primary beneficiary has died.
  • Policy Owner is in the process of or has gone through a divorce. Note: In the past, the only policies that were considered of value as a marital asset were those with cash value. Now, Term Insurance which has no cash value component, has a value.
  • Policy Owner is in the process of or has gone through a Personal or Business Bankruptcy. Note: In the past, the only policies that were considered of value as a personal or business asset were those with cash value. Now Term Insurance, which has no cash value component, has a value.
  • The Buy-Sell or Key man policy is no longer needed due to retirement or death of a partner or the company no longer exists.
  • The Universal Life policy that was supposed to self fund itself (sometimes referred to as a disappearing premium) isn’t performing as desired and now significant premiums are required to keep it in force.
  • The Split-Dollar policy on a key employee has been challenged or disallowed by the IRS.
