How Selling Your Life Insurance Policy Could Provide Financial Support When Facing Colorectal Cancer 

When a diagnosis like advanced colon cancer shifts life’s focus to health and quality of life, financial concerns often become an added burden. Medical bills, treatment costs, caregiving, travel, and everyday expenses can mount quickly — sometimes in ways insurance or savings alone can’t fully cover.

One option many people don’t realize exists is a viatical life settlement — a way to sell your life insurance policy for a cash payout while you’re still alive, helping you access funds when you need them most.

What Is A Viatical Life Settlement?

A viatical settlement is a legal financial transaction in which a person with a terminal or severe illness sells their life insurance policy to a licensed buyer in exchange for a lump‑sum cash payment.

• The buyer becomes the new owner and beneficiary of the policy.
• The seller receives a cash payout — often for far more than the policy’s cash surrender value — and can use it however they see fit.
• After the sale, the buyer pays all future premiums.

Viatical settlements can be especially relevant when medical or quality‑of‑life expenses become immediate priorities.

Understanding Colorectal Cancer 

Colorectal cancer, which includes cancers of the colon and rectum, remains a significant health issue in the United States:

• More than 150,000 people are diagnosed with colorectal cancer each year. Source: American Cancer Society – Colorectal Cancer Facts & Figures 2023
• About 52,000 people die from colorectal cancer annually.Source: Fight Colorectal Cancer – Statistics
• Colorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the U.S.Source: Colorectal Cancer Alliance – Facts & Statistics
• One in approximately 24 men and one in 26 women will develop colorectal cancer in their lifetime.Source: FightCRC – Facts & Statistics

How A Viatical Life Settlement Can Help

Unlike surrendering a policy back to the insurance company for cash value, a viatical life settlement can provide significantly more immediate funds at closing than the default cash surrender value of your policy. These funds can be used for:

• Medical treatment costs not covered by insurance
• Travel, caregiver support, or in‑home care
• Supplementing income to improve quality of life
• Paying everyday living expenses
• Supporting family in meaningful ways now

For many, this access to immediate, flexible cash offers peace of mind and financial control at a time when planning for tomorrow can feel uncertain.

Viatical Settlement vs. Life Settlement

It’s important to know the difference:

• Viatical settlements — available to individuals with a terminal or serious illness (often with a life expectancy of less than two years).
• Life settlements — are typically available to policyholders (typically age 65+) who seek to sell a policy they no longer need, regardless of health status.

Because viatical settlement sellers typically have shorter life expectancy, payouts can be higher as a percentage of the face value when compared to life settlement offers.
