Life settlements are a newly emerging and quickly growing marketplace within the life insurance industry. Over the past few years, life settlement companies have begun to see an enormous opportunity in providing a viable financial alternative to life insurance policy owners looking to sell their life insurance policies for cash. The opportunity exists for policy owners – individuals, companies, trusts, partnerships, and others – whose policies insure people over the age of 60. Previously, the only alternatives available to life insurance policy owners were to let a policy lapse or, if possible, surrender a policy to the life insurance company for the policy’s cash value. What has emerged through the life settlement process is, in many cases, a more lucrative offer to settle the policy with a third-party for an amount in excess of all other alternatives.
