Seniors over the age of 70 especially find themselves in this predicament. What's worse, a phone call to their life insurance companies will leave them without any options. For example, insurance companies may allow their customers to surrender their policies, yet policy holders only receive a small amount of the face value. What insurance companies fail to disclose to their customers is that policy holders can sell their existing life insurance policies through life insurance settlements. According to the Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA), "A life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy for more than its cash surrender value but less than its net death benefit." This option is great news for policy holders going through tough financial times. Instead of continuing to pay high premiums on an unwanted policy, senior life settlements provide policy holders with a large sum of money that is much more than they would receive from surrendering a policy. "Such transactions," says LISA, "usually undertaken for the purposes of estate or financial planning, put choice in the hands of American consumers." In addition to using the funds for estate or financial planning, seniors can use the money to provide cash gifts to family members, funds for charitable giving or purchase a new cost-effective life insurance plan. A life settlements investment can also be used to remove a policy from an estate due to a reduction in size or projected tax liability. For many people, rising healthcare costs or mounting financial concerns have increased financial burdens and needs. For these and many other reasons, life settlements offer seniors a practical way out. To learn more information about life settlements, contact reliable life settlement brokers.
