Life Settlements - Senior Life Settlements Explained
The Concept of the Life Settlement
There used to be two options when a senior had a life insurance policy that was no longer needed. Those two options were to either let the life insurance policy lapse or cash in the policy for its surrender value. Now with the advent of the life settlement market, seniors have an excellent opportunity to capitalize on their current life insurance policy. Life settlements allow seniors to cash in their life insurance, but in a new way. Instead of cashing in their policy with the original life insurance company, they can work with a life settlement brokerage to cash in their policy with a financial institution that will pay more than their insurance company. Someone may ask, why not just go to the financial institution instead of work with a life settlement brokerage? Its simple, life settlement brokers work with a multitude of financial institutions that purchase policies. RTG Life Settlements creates competition among these financial institutions that purchase your policy and as a result you receive more money that you would working directly with one. We also provide the support and experience to make sure that your life settlement is processed and handled to protect your privacy and also maintain your best interests. A life settlement is the simplest way to maximize the value of your current life insurance policy. As a financial planning tool, a life settlement is something that will generate great return on your life insurance policy. Take a look below at some of the reasons individuals take part in a life settlement.
Reasons for a life settlement
- Beneficiary has passed and coverage is no longer needed
- Premiums are no longer affordable
- Estate size has changed and the amount of coverage is deem too large for the amount taxes estimiated by your estate
- Long term care needs to be funded
- The money obtained through a life settlement can be used to better to fund other investments, pay for bills, enjoy a vacation, or bequest beneficiaries while you are living.
- People are living longer ( In this case most clients will sell their policy and purchase a policy with lower premiums. These cheaper premiums can be obtained because the population is living longer.)
- Enhance quality of life
- Other Estate Changes haven taken place
Benefits of a Life Settlement
The concept and the benefits of a life settlement coincide. In its simplest form, you can receive more money in the secondary market than you can from your life insurance company. The same concepts as when you cash in your policy with the life insurance company apply, except you avoid having to pay any surrender charges from the insurance company. You no longer need to make premiums and you have no obligations to the life insurance policy.
