For many retirees, rising living costs and longer lifespans are putting pressure on even the most carefully planned nest eggs. Between healthcare expenses, home maintenance, and everyday needs, retirement income doesn’t always stretch as far as expected.
What many seniors don’t realize is that a life insurance policy can be one of the most valuable — yet overlooked — assets they own. Through a life settlement, you can sell your life insurance policy for cash, often for more than the surrender value, and use those funds to supplement your retirement income and improve your quality of life.
What Is A Life Settlement?
A life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy to a licensed provider in exchange for a lump-sum cash payment.
The buyer assumes responsibility for future premiums, and the policyholder receives cash that can be used immediately — settlement amounts can vary depending on the policy’s face value, age of insured, health, premium costs, and type of policy.
For retirees, this can be a powerful financial tool that unlocks the market value of a policy that’s no longer needed or has become too expensive to maintain.
Ways To Use The Cash From A Life Settlement
Selling your life insurance through a life settlement offers flexibility and financial relief. Proceeds can be used for:
- Supplementing monthly income to offset rising living costs
- Paying off debts, mortgages, or lingering medical bills
- Gifting money to children or grandchildren while you can see them enjoy it
- Funding travel, hobbies, or experiences you’ve always wanted
- Investing in other opportunities or income-generating assets
- Covering healthcare or long-term care expenses not fully covered by insurance
Unlike many financial options, there are no restrictions on how the money can be used — allowing you to direct your resources toward what matters most in this stage of life.
Who Qualifies For A Life Settlement
You may qualify for a life settlement if you:
- Are 65 or older (or younger with certain health conditions)
- Own a universal, whole life, variable, or term policy
- Have a death benefit of $100,000 or more
Even if your policy is close to lapsing or you’ve considered surrendering it, it may still have significant cash value available through a life settlement.
