A Simple Life Settlement Definition
A simple definition of a life settlement is: the disposal of a prevailing life insurance plan to an investor in exchange for a one-time buyout. The insurance policy owner is paid a payment that is more than the policy’s cash value, but less than the plan’s benefit at maturity. After the life policy is sold, the investor is the new rightful beneficiary on the plan and naturally assumes the obligation for the ongoing repayments. The policyholder gets paid for the policy, while the person buying the policy takes over the death benefit once the insured party does pass away.
In TX., life settlement policy are regulated by the Texas Department of Insurance, and you should check the official website to be very certain you have found a certified firm. Q Capital is licensed as a life settlement provider in Texas.
A Quick Take on How It Works
Once a policy owner decides that they are ready to move on from their policy, a life settlement offers a good alternative to expiring the standing life insurance policy and surrendering it back to the insurance company. Much of the time, the value of the insurance policy is more than the amount to be received if it were lapsed back. Working with a properly licensed company, the policy owner offers the policy up to a fair marketplace where established investors may bid on insurance policies. At that point the licensed life settlement provider will oversee the entire sales process, from inviting offers from potential investors, to collaborating with the owner of the policy to complete the policy sale closing process. And lastly, all insurance policy sales are finalized with an escrow agent, providing an added layer of safety for the insurance policy seller. Typically, the sales transaction procedure can be wrapped up within 30 to 60 days starting from initial request.
