Viatical Life Settlements for End-Stage Heart Failure

How Your Life Insurance Can Offer Financial Relief

Living with end-stage heart failure presents not only serious health challenges, but also increasing financial strain—from medical bills to care support, and planning for loved ones. For many facing a terminal illness, a little-known but powerful option is the ability to sell a life insurance policy for cash through what’s known as a viatical life settlement.

If you or a loved one is managing heart failure with a limited life expectancy, this may be a way to access the financial support you need—without taking on debt or waiting until it’s too late to make use of the benefit.

What Is A Viatical Life Settlement for End-Stage Heart Failure?

A viatical life settlement allows individuals diagnosed with a terminal illness, like end-stage heart failure or, Stage D heart failure to sell their existing life insurance policy to a vetted funder in exchange for a lump sum of cash—often significantly more than the policy’s cash surrender value.

This transaction is not a loan. The buyer becomes the policy’s new owner and assumes future premium payments, and receives the death benefit. The policyholder receives immediate funds, with no repayment required.

Who May Qualify For A Viatical Settlement?

Qualification for a viatical settlement is typically based on:

  • A diagnosis of a terminal illness, such as late-stage heart failure, with a life expectancy of 24 months or less

  • A life insurance policy valued at $100,000 or more

  • Many policy types qualify, including Whole Life, Universal Life, Guaranteed Life, Variable Life and Convertible Term Life.

If you’re unsure whether you qualify, LifeRoc offers a free, no-obligation policy appraisal within 24 hours to help you learn if your policy qualifies and what it may sell for confidentially and with no obligation.

How A Viatical Settlement For Late Stage Heart Failure Can Help?

Advanced heart failure often leads to frequent hospitalizations, costly medications, caregiving needs, and difficult decisions around quality of life and legacy. A viatical life settlement may help relieve financial pressure by allowing you to:

  • Cover medical expenses or in-home care

  • Support your family financially while you’re still here

  • Offset the cost of treatment, travel, or final planning

  • Avoid lapsing a policy that still holds significant value

Every situation is unique, but for many, converting a life insurance policy into cash during a time of need can bring peace of mind and flexibility when it matters most.
