As you enter or progress through retirement, your financial goals often change. For many retirees, life insurance that once served a critical purpose—like income replacement or mortgage protection—may no longer be necessary. Yet the premiums continue, often straining your retirement budget.

If you’re wondering whether to keep or sell your life insurance policy in retirement, it’s worth considering a powerful but often overlooked option: a life settlement.

What Is A Life Settlement And Why It Matters In Retirement

A life settlement is a financial transaction where you sell your life insurance policy to a licensed settlement provider in exchange for a lump sum of cash. You’re likely to receive much more than the surrender value, and the buyer takes over premiums and becomes the policy beneficiary.

This can be especially valuable in retirement, when financial flexibility and peace of mind are top priorities.

Common reasons retirees consider a life settlement:

• • The original need for the policy (like dependents or debt) is gone
  • Premiums are becoming too expensive
  • You want to free up funds for healthcare, travel, or investing
  • You’d prefer to help family now or reinvest the funds
  • You want to eliminate ongoing premium payments and simplify finances

How to Evaluate Your Life Insurance Policy for Retirement

If you’re retired and wondering what your policy is really worth, ask yourself:

• Do I still need this coverage?
• Can I afford the premiums?
• Would the cash benefit me or my family more now than later?
