A LifeSaver Settlement is a life settlement which gives you money you can use now in exchange for your current life insurance policy. Finally, you can stop making premium payments and spend the cash on anything from vacations to grandchildren to maintaining your standard of living. LifeSaver Settlements make it happen.
Simple! First, LifeSaver Settlements will review your life insurance policy. Based on our assessment, we'll work to find someone who will purchase your policy and take over the premiums and all policy maintenance. You get a large lump sum and you never have to worry about defaulting on your life insurance again!
If you're age 62 or older, or have a chronic medical condition, you may qualify for an immediate cash payout in exchange for your life insurance policy. We'll work with universal, whole and term life policies, as well as key man, survivorship, corporate owned and group policies.
As a rule, we don't review or accept any policies that are still within their contestability period or stranger originated life insurance policies.
Absolutely not! Until you sign an agreement with a specific buyer to take over the policy in order to receive the cash you want, you have no obligation to do anything!
We have trained professionals who will examine your medical history in accordance with all confidentiality and HIPPA laws, after receiving your consent and assess them as to the value of your life insurance policy. Typically, no additional medical exams are necessary!
This is money that has accrued over time in an interest bearing account associated with your policy. Accessing this can lower the value of your insurance or even increase your likelihood of lapsing. The “Cash Surrender Value” is the amount your insurance company will pay you if you were to let your policy lapse.
Usually, a LifeSaver Settlement, if you are eligible, is a better option and will typically allow you to receive much more money than if you were to take what your insurance company offers.
On average, a Life Settlement will garner a higher pay-out (sometimes significantly) than the cash surrender value of a given life insurance policy. This will vary on a per policy basis. Your lump sum payment will depend on various factors, including:
- Age
- Health
- Type of Insurance
- Premiums
- Insurance Company
In addition, market demand forces play a role in determining how much you can get for your life insurance policy.
We are not charging you any fees for undergoing the life settlement process. If and only if we are able to get you a settlement, will we charge a fee.
The only third party fees that may be associated with a LifeSaver Settlement application are the administrative fees that your physicians might charge to send out a copy of your medical records. Many medical facilities will provide this service free of charge, but some do charge a nominal fee.
LifeSaver Settlements and its agents are not certified tax professionals, and as such we do not give tax advice or help. Please speak with your tax professional to address any issues on life settlement taxation.
The only responsibilities that a seller has after the sale of their life insurance policy, is to answer a periodic health and information form that will be sent to them up to two times per year, and to make sure that their physicians continue to send updated medical records to Life Saver Settlements or their designees upon request.
No. Also, although the amount of insurance under the policy you sell will still be taken into account when looking to purchase a new policy, if you qualify for a new policy, you can use the proceeds from a LifeSaver Settlement to pay future premiums at a potentially much lower rate. Ask a LifeSaver Settlement agent how we may be able to get you a Paid Up Life Insurance policy, with NO future payments required.
If approved, we can usually get you a payout between 30 and 45 days from the time of approval. In certain circumstances, we can even work with you to advance you the money until the transaction is completed!
It's time to make your investment in your life insurance policy pay off!
