A life settlement advisor could be your friend, your lawyer, your insurance agent, your accountant or anyone that sounds as if they know more than you about selling your unwanted life insurance policy. When choosing to work with a life settlement advisor to sell your policy it is important to ensure they not just sound as if they know but have a good idea of how to present your policy to potential investors, have a reasonable idea of what it is worth so a ‘low ball’ bid is not taken erroneously and is licensed appropriately to comply with state regulations.
You will want to sit down with the life settlement advisor you choose and go over what all will happen in the process so you’ll have an understanding how long it will take, what will be required of you and what your goals are when selling the policy. One of the important items you’ll want to get some advice on from your advisor on whether there will be the tax implications when you sell your policy. If your advisor is not familiar with these implications you will also want to incorporate an accountant to ensure this element is factored into whatever price is accepted for your policy.
A good life settlement advisor should be able to speak intelligently about all of these areas so if you are not getting reasonably good answers and insights into these areas you may want to seek out another group or individual to assist you in selling your policy. The process is really not all that complicated but one is not familiar with the process one can easily get lost in the shuffle or get involved with someone or a group that could mishandle your life settlement and potentially taint your ability to sell your policy.
