A diagnosis of ALS (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis) can bring immense challenges—physically, emotionally, and financially. As the disease progresses, many individuals and their families face the high cost of care, equipment, home modifications, and lost income.
One powerful but often overlooked resource is your life insurance policy. Through a viatical settlement for ALS, you can sell your life insurance for cash—giving you financial flexibility, peace of mind, and the ability to focus on what matters most.
What Is A Viatical Settlement for ALS?
A viatical settlement is a financial transaction that allows individuals diagnosed with a terminal illness—like ALS—to sell their life insurance policy to a licensed settlement buyer. In return, the policyholder receives a lump-sum cash payment, usually significantly more than the policy’s surrender value.
The funder takes over the premium payments and becomes the beneficiary. But the real benefit is immediate: you gain access to funds when you need them most.
How A Viatical Settlement Can Help ALS Patients
The journey with ALS often requires specialized care, equipment, and significant support. A viatical settlement for ALS can help cover:
- In-home or hospice care
- Adaptive equipment or home accessibility upgrades
- Medical treatments not covered by insurance
- Travel, personal wishes, or end-of-life planning
- Reducing financial burdens for loved ones
Instead of holding onto a policy that only pays out later, a viatical settlement allows you to use its value now, during life.
Who Qualifies for a Viatical Settlement?
You may be eligible for a viatical settlement if:
- You have been diagnosed with ALS or another terminal illness
- Your life expectancy is typically under 24 months (though this may vary)
- Your policy has a face value of $100,000 or more
- You own a universal life, whole life, or term policy
Even if you’re not sure about your eligibility, LifeRoc offers a free, no-obligation appraisal to help determine if your policy qualifies.
