Life settlements represent a strategic financial decision for many, offering alternative solutions when life insurance no longer meets the original needs or becomes a financial burden. Understanding the key life events that make life settlements a wise choice is crucial for informed decision-making.
**Retirement or Selling a Business:** Transitioning out of business ownership or retiring often reduces the need for previously essential policies, like those meant for key-person insurance or buy-sell agreements.
**Changes in Estate Planning Needs:** Fluctuations in estate value or changes in tax liabilities can diminish the necessity or effectiveness of existing life insurance policies.
**Policy Expiry:** Term life insurance policies, upon nearing expiration without any associated cash surrender value, pose an exceptional opportunity for life settlements, transforming them into potential financial assets.
**Unaffordable Premiums:** Economic changes or personal financial situations can lead to a scenario where keeping up with insurance premium payments becomes untenable.
**Health Changes:** The onset of chronic or terminal illnesses might necessitate accessing immediate funds for care, making life settlements a viable option to unlock policy value prior to death.
**Life Changes and Other Financial Needs:** Events like divorce, unexpected health care costs, or simply a shift in financial goals can alter the relevance of a life insurance policy, prompting considerations for a life settlement.
**Understanding Eligibility:** To engage in a life settlement, typically, policyholders must be of a certain age, possess a policy of a minimum death benefit amount, and the policy in question should be at least two years old.
