More Info on "Insurance Life Settlements" and "Senior Life Settlements"
Whether you call it a Senior Settlement, Lifetime Settlement, or High Net Worth Transaction – Life Settlements have become a very important factor in the estate planning process for seniors. Prior to the Life Settlement Industry, if a senior owned a policy that was no longer wanted, needed or affordable, there was no option but to lapse, cancel, or surrender the policy back to the carrier for the cash surrender value. Life settlements allow qualified policy owners to liquidate a policy for an amount much higher than the cash surrender value. Then, these seniors can take advantage of important financial opportunities using the proceeds of an unwanted, unaffordable or obsolete life insurance policy.
Today, with the advancement of Life Settlements as a mainstream financial product, Life Insurance Companies now face competition for the surrendered policies that they once monopolized. The Life Settlement Industry has created a competitive secondary market for life insurance policies. Consumers are now in the driver's seat, free to sell their policies in an open market for the highest available price, well above the cash surrender value offered by insurance companies.
