88% of Universal Life and 99% of Term Policies do not result in a payout of the Death Benefit.* This occurs because most policy owners decide they don't want, don't need or can't afford their policy. Let us help you get on the right side of that equation.

Solutions for Individuals

If you are 65 years or older and own a Life Insurance Policy that is greater than $250,000 face amount/death benefit, and your circumstances have changed since the original policy was issued, let us do a FREE policy appraisal and analysis.

Reasons why a policy may no longer fit your current needs and you may be inclined to Surrender or Lapse:

  • Premium payment is too expensive to manage because of financial issues/lack of liquidity
  • Under performance of a existing policy such as those that rely on a specific interest rate or stock market performance
  • A Key Person policy or a policy tied to a Buy/Sell isn’t needed because of retirement, resignation or the sale of a business
  • Succession planning
  • Bankruptcy (personal or Corporate)
  • A Term policy is about to lapse or the conversion option is about to expire
  • Death or Divorce of Beneficiary, or they just don’t need the money
  • Because of recent Estate/tax Planning, their estate has been reduced and their tax burden lessoned.
  • Considering a 1035 Exchange
  • Applying for Medicaid (or a similar program) and needing to shed the policy

Your settlement amount will be determined by a combination of:

  • Type of policy
  • Policy face amount
  • Insurance company rating
  • State of residency
  • Policy premiums/year
  • Age, gender and life expectancy of insured

Benefits to you:

  • Monetizes often overlooked asset
  • No obligation
  • Immediate capital
  • Relief of premium expense
  • Maximizes asset recovery
  • Alternative to surrendering or lapsing a policy
