Yes — if you’ve been diagnosed with advanced cancer, you may be able to sell your life insurance policy through a viatical settlement and receive a lump sum of cash while you’re still living. This can help cover medical expenses, support caregiving needs, or reduce financial stress during treatment.
Many people don’t realize their life insurance policy can become a living asset — especially after a serious diagnosis. A viatical settlement gives you the option to access that value now, rather than letting the policy lapse or waiting until it pays out later.
What Is A Viatical Settlement?
A viatical settlement is a financial option that allows individuals with a serious or terminal illness — such as advanced cancer — to sell their life insurance policy to a licensed provider in exchange for a lump-sum cash payment.
- The funder becomes the new owner and beneficiary
- They pay future premiums
- You receive a cash payout, which may qualify to be tax-free
- The funds can be used however you choose: care, travel, support for loved ones, etc.
This option can turn a burdensome or unused policy into immediate, flexible financial support.
Who Qualifies For A Viatical Life Settlement?
You may qualify if:
- You have been diagnosed with advanced cancer or another serious illness
- You have an active life insurance policy with a face value of $100,000 or more
Eligible policy types often include:
- Whole Life
- Universal Life
- Guaranteed Universal Life
- Variable Life
- Convertible Term Life
If you’re not sure whether your policy qualifies, LifeRoc Direct can provide a fast, no-obligation review within 24 hours.
Why Consider A Viatical Settlement During Advanced Cancer?
A diagnosis of advanced cancer can create unexpected financial strain — even with insurance. A viatical settlement gives you the option to:
- Pay for medical expenses or treatments not fully covered
- Fund in-home care or specialized therapies
- Reduce monthly financial obligations
- Avoid letting the policy lapse
- Support your family while you’re still here
- Make meaningful choices about how to spend your time and resources
Most importantly, it puts control — and cash — back in your hands.
