Life insurance settlements yield money for seniors from the sale of unnecessary life insurance policies. Often times seniors find themselves burdened with expensive premiums for life insurance that they no need. Many times the purpose for which they originally purchased the policy is not the current situation.
Life insurance settlements have been in existence for over 20 years and they are governed by the laws of the state in which they are owned. Currently 38 states regulate life settlements. They originated back in the late 1980’s when sick patients needed expensive medications. They soon found a source to purchase their assets, those assets included life insurance policies. This quickly spread to include seniors 65+ who no longer had a need for their life insurance policies.
There are many factors that go into life insurance settlements and they should be handled by a life insurance agent who has experience in these complex transactions. They involve a number of specialized individuals such as doctors, actuaries, lawyers and large institutional funders.
