CAN LIFE SETTLEMENTS WORK FOR YOU AS A NEW SOURCE FOR FUNDS?



·        Your term policy can be evaluated in the Life Settlement Market if it can be converted to Universal Life; it would be converted during the closing process
o      If your health has deteriorated to the point where premiums on new life insurance would be cost prohibitive converting term to universal or whole life may be the only viable option


·        Have your whole life premiums escalated making you consider surrender or lapsing the policy perhaps for low cash payout?  A Life Settlement MAY BE THE BEST SOLUTION – cash out under performing insurance and use the proceeds to purchase more appropriate coverage.


·        Does your business hold life insurance that may no longer be necessary, and in need of reevaluation and change to life settlement or other solution, e.g.
o      due to retirement of key executive
o      partnership dissolution
o      executives who do not wish to keep a policy in a retirement package in force
o      change of business ownership
o      exit strategies for benefit programs
o      proper market asset valuation of business owned life insurance

·        Do you have life insurance providing a deferred benefit to a charity, and if so, would you prefer a solution that will make more immediate donations during your lifetime?  If yes, consider a life settlement solution.  The charities then will not have premium obligations when you pass on.
