How to Sell Your Life Insurance Policy for Cash: Step-by-Step Guide

If your life insurance policy no longer serves its intended purpose, you may be able to sell it for a lump sum of cash—often far more than the surrender value offered by your insurer. This process, called a life settlement, can be a strategic way to unlock value from a policy you no longer want or need.

Here’s a step-by-step guide to how it works—and how LifeRoc makes the process fast, simple, and rewarding every step of the way.

Step 1: Choose a Trusted Provider to Guide the Process

Selling a life insurance policy is a significant decision, and working with the right company matters. That’s why the first step is choosing a provider with experience, integrity, and a client-first approach.

How LifeRoc supports this step:
At LifeRoc, we’ve intentionally built a process that’s fast, simple, and designed to get you great offers. From the moment you reach out, our expert team handles the details with care, providing clear communication—no pressure, and commissions.

Step 2: Determine Eligibility and Receive a Free Policy Appraisal

Most policyholders who qualify are age 65 or older with a life insurance policy valued at $100,000 or more.

How LifeRoc supports this step:
We’ll walk you through a quick, confidential review and deliver a free, detailed policy appraisal within 24 hours. This gives you a clear picture of what your policy could sell for—at no cost and with zero obligation.

Step 3: Get Competitive Offers from Funders

Once your policy is reviewed, it’s presented to funders who compete to make a great offer.

How LifeRoc supports this step:
LifeRoc gives you direct access to our large, leading network of funders who buy policies. We eliminate third-party broker commissions, so there are no brokers taking a cut—meaning more money in your pocket and faster results.

Step 4: Accept the Offer and Close with Confidence

After you accept the offer, We finalize the paperwork and transfer ownership of the policy.

How LifeRoc supports this step:
We handle the entire closing process with speed and clarity. From start to finish, we’re known for making life settlements efficient and hassle-free. Once finalized, you receive your funds quickly and securely.

Step 5: Use The Life Settlement Proceeds As You Wish

The lump sum you receive can be used however you choose—giving you financial flexibility now, not just later.

Common uses include:

  • Supplementing retirement income

     

  • Paying for long-term care or medical expenses

     

  • Reinvesting in opportunities better aligned with your goals

     

  • Gifting to loved ones now instead of leaving a future inheritance

     

How LifeRoc supports this step:
By streamlining the entire transaction and eliminating third-party broker commissions, LifeRoc helps you receive more value from your policy and our turn around time is among the best in the industry.
