How does it work?
Understand Your Options
Similar to selling a home, a person with a life insurance policy can take advantage of their asset and be financially rewarded before the maturity date. Viatical settlements and whole life insurance settlements that provide cash settlements for life insurance policyholders are considered the same as transactions for private property. A 1911 case made it available for a policyholder to transfer their life settlement to a Life Settlement Company in order to benefit from the proceeds while alive.
In the 1980s the viatical settlements market emerged. Brokers would purchase the life insurance of AIDS patients who didn’t have long to live, and wanted immediate liquidity. The patients would get a better quality of life due to their increased finances as the brokers liberated them from having to pay monthly premiums. In exchange, the brokers and policy buyers received the face value of the policy. Now, these terminally ill patients that need financial assistance are using viatical life settlements for the same reason.
Case Study: Life Insurance Settlement Offer for $350,000
Client: Female, age 87
Policy: $2,000,000 Universal Life, with a cash surrender value of $87,271
Problem: The client could no longer afford the premiums. Based on the original illustration from 14 years ago, she expected to cash out the policy for $375,000 and use the money to supplement her retirement income. Her husband predeceased her, so she no longer needed the coverage, and her expenses had increased over the years.
Solution: We were able to get her a Life Settlement offer of $350,000, nearly what she expected, and $262,729 more than the cash surrender value!
Big Win: The proceeds from the life settlement were used to enhance her retirement income, giving her peace of mind for her future and making up for the disappointment of the low cash surrender value.
