Have you recently been approached with an offer for your life insurance policy? This could be an enhanced cash surrender value proposal. Essentially, your insurer might be willing to pay you more now to cancel your policy than what it’s currently worth in cash value. This situation deserves a closer look.

Before jumping at such an offer, it’s critical to pause. Ask yourself why the insurance company would propose this. Evaluating the true worth of your life insurance through a professional appraisal is a smart move. It’s surprising how the industry flips the narrative. First, selling policies on a need basis, then urging you to drop them.

Especially for those with Guaranteed Universal Life (GUL) policies, the stakes are high. These are designed to offer a death benefit as long as you meet your premium payments. No cash value needs to be built up. It’s a clear win for policyholders. Yet, many are being nudged to let these policies lapse.

Most life insurance policies never result in a death claim. With GULs, insurance companies face a guaranteed payout upon your death, provided premiums are paid. This is why many insurers are keen to see GULs “off the street.” They prefer policies that lapse, preserving their profits.

Your policy’s fair market value is what someone is willing to pay for it. An unsolicited buyback offer might undervalue it significantly. Life settlements companies often recognize the value insurers want to reclaim. They might offer you a better deal. Therefore, getting multiple offers is crucial.
