A diagnosis of advanced or metastatic cancer often brings not only emotional challenges but also significant financial burdens. From ongoing treatments and hospital visits to medications and specialized care, many families face expenses that quickly add up.
For some policyholders, a life settlement can provide a meaningful financial benefit during this time.
What Is A Life Settlement?
A life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy by a policyholder who no longer wants the coverage. In exchange for selling their policy, the policyholder receives a lump-sum cash payout while the buyer assumes future premium payments and ultimately collects the death benefit.
This option is especially valuable for seniors and those facing advanced health conditions, including cancer.
Common Cancer Diagnoses That May Qualify For A Life Settlement
While each case is evaluated individually, many patients with the following conditions may be eligible:
- Advanced or metastatic breast cancer
- Advanced or metastatic lung cancer
- Pancreatic cancer
- Advanced colorectal cancer
- Late-stage prostate cancer
- Advanced liver cancer
- Certain aggressive blood cancers such as leukemia or lymphoma
How The Proceeds Of A Life Settlement Can Be Used
Funds from a life settlement can be used in any way the policyholder chooses. Common uses include:
- Paying for cancer treatments, hospital care, or medical specialists
- Covering the cost of prescription medications or advanced therapies
- Funding access to clinical trials or alternative treatments not covered by insurance
- Managing everyday expenses such as rent, mortgage, or household bills
- Providing financial support for loved ones during a difficult time
- Living remaining days in comfort
Who Typically Qualifies For A Life Settlement?
While eligibility is case-specific, life settlements are often available to:
- Seniors age 65+ OR individuals who have experienced a serious change in health
- Policyholders with $100,000 or more in coverage
- Holders of universal life, whole life, variable life, guaranteed life and term life policies
