Do you qualify?
To qualify for a Life Settlement each case must meet the Investor’s three main criteria;
Health.
Health status is one of the main factors for Life Settlements. Good health doesn’t disqualify!
Policy.
The death benefit should be at least $250K. Cash Value does not heavily influence the sale.
Age.
Typically seniors 75+ qualify more easily (depending on health status or policy).
Freedom to Sell
Don’t let the Insurance company hold you hostage! You have the right to sell your life insurance policy without feeling obligated.
What’s the Process?
The process can take weeks or months depending on medical underwriting, release forms and parties involved. Here is a timeline according to the Life Insurance Settlement Association.

“We believe in integrity by helping people with an unfortunate illness, win back their losses from Life insurance companies. We do this by helping them sell their policy for more money.

FAQ’s
What do I need before I call?
To ensure a productive first meeting, be sure to have a physical or digital copy of the owner’s life insurance policy handy along with medical, medication and physicians contact information. The initial pre-qualification and quote could take between 20-45min.
Is there a minimum requirement?
Generally, we do not sell policies under $150,000 (ie: death benefit) unless the owner’s life expectancy is critical or the policy can be converted to a whole life product.
What about ADB's?
ADB or Accelerated Death Benefits. We suggest that if your policy includes an ADB provision, you should talk with your Life Insurance company as this may be a better option for you. Feel free to call us for a second option.
