Life settlements offer policyholders the opportunity to increase the true market value of their policies. Settlements are viable in all aspects of insurance, estate planning, income replacement, charitable giving, allocation of assets, business insurance and increasing healthcare costs.
The following are some examples:
Exchange outdated, under performing polices for appropriately priced, guaranteed policies
Beneficiaries are financially sound (insurance unnecessary)
Beneficiaries predecease the insured
Insured is outliving liquid assets
Estate tax laws change making the policy unnecessary
Charitable giving – make a lifetime gift to a charity
Sale proceeds are used to purchase an investment vehicle
Key employee leaves company where buy-sell is in place
Family owned or small business sold or going public
Offset the cost of medical care not covered by insurance
Cover “elder care” expenses– assisted living, nursing home or home health care
