Life Settlement Case Study

Client Situation:

  • 75 year-old male
  • $5,000,000 Universal Life Policy purchased 5 years ago
  • Cash Surrender Value of $125,000
  • Upcomming Annual Premium $150,000
  • Change in financial situation: Estate tax changes reduced need for coverage. Insured does not want to pay escalating premium any longer

The Settlement Process:

  • Client case file compiled: HIPAA, medicals/APS, in-force illustration, LE report, application and sent to multiple Institutional Investors (Funders) for evaluation and pricing offers
  • Initial offers received ranging from $900,000 to $950,000
  • Subsequent negotiations results in a final high offer of $1,150,000*
  • Client reviews highest offer and decides to accept offer (*less intermediary fees)
  • Transfer of ownership contracts are then processed and executed; coverage is verified at the carrier; escrow; policy ownership is transferred and recorded at the insurance carrier
  • Settlement funds are wired to the policy seller (less agreed upon intermediary fees). Client uses proceeds for retirement funding, smaller insurance policy
  • Upon the expiration of statutory contract rescission periods (3-15 days), compensation is wired to the intermediary
