What Is Life Insurance Settlements?

Lacy,

Life insurance settlements offer premature death benefits to the policyholder who is suffering from severe diseases like cancers,

AIDS etc and whose life expectancy in future is only in days. If a senior

citizen, having the age over sixty-five years, is in financial crises and badly in need of money, he/she can opt for life insurance settlements. Generally the senior citizen receives the amount which is higher than that he would receive if he surrenders his policy to the insurance company. So even though he will receive a fixed percentage of the policy amount from the senior life insurance settlement transaction, it is beneficial to the policyholder. The amount so obtained by the policy owner can be used for discharging debts, for buying a house, for a vacation trip, or anything else. Moreover, the face value of the insurance policy should be $250,000 minimum. Generally senior life insurance settlement companies purchase these policies from the senior citizens and submit all the necessary documents to the

insurance company asking for the change of the ownership and the beneficiary of the policy. Once this is confirmed by the insurance company, the settlement company starts paying premiums and will receive the full policy amount on the maturity date or on the demise of the old policyholder, whichever is earlier.

Great Question.
