As financial priorities shift later in life, many people find themselves holding on to life insurance policies they no longer need—or can no longer afford. Whether the original purpose for the coverage is no longer relevant, or premium costs have become a burden, it may be time to explore alternatives.
Instead of lapsing or surrendering your policy for minimal value, you may be able to turn it into immediate cash through a life settlement.
What Is a Life Settlement?
A life settlement is the legal sale of your life insurance policy to a licensed provider in exchange for a lump-sum cash payment. The buyer takes over the premiums and becomes the beneficiary, while you receive immediate value that can be used for anything you choose.
This option can provide cash for retirement, medical expenses, long-term care, debt reduction, or simply to improve your quality of life.
When Does It Make Sense to Sell Your Life Insurance Policy?
Many people choose to sell their life insurance policy for cash when:
- The policy is no longer needed for its original purpose (such as income replacement or estate protection)
- Premiums have become too expensive in retirement
- There is a desire to access funds for healthcare, caregiving, or personal enjoyment
- The policy is at risk of lapsing or being surrendered for low value
- The policyholder wants to eliminate ongoing premium payments and simplify their finances
Even if you’re unsure whether you qualify, a simple policy evaluation can provide clarity and uncover options you may not have known existed.
