A life settlement involves selling an existing life insurance policy to a third party in exchange for a negotiated payment. The buyer generally becomes responsible for future premiums and may receive the policy’s death benefit later. Eligibility and transaction terms depend on the policy and the circumstances of the policyholder.
Before exploring this option, review the policy’s coverage, premiums, cash value, beneficiaries, and other contract terms. Compare the possible payment with alternatives such as keeping the policy, changing coverage, or discussing other planning strategies with qualified professionals.
A life settlement can change who receives the policy’s future benefit and may involve financial, legal, and tax considerations. Professional guidance can help you understand the documents, costs, disclosures, and potential effects before making a decision. Let’s talk about your plan.
