If you live in Florida and have an unwanted or unaffordable life insurance policy you may be searching for a Florida life settlement. The life settlement industry in Florida is highly regulated and in order to provide a life settlement transaction in the state of Florida you must be properly licensed. A Florida life settlement can be advantageous for those seniors that are longer in a position to continue paying premiums or have an unwanted policy. Some of the reasons why seniors choose life settlements in Florida include: - Eliminate high premium payments or lapse policy
- Lump sum of funds
- Alternative investments are desired
- Your quality of life and standard of living can be enhanced
- Money needed for medical expenses and long-term care
- Money used to help pay living expenses in a retirement home or community
- Give money to your children and watch them enjoy it
- Making financial donation to a charitable organization
- You have outlived the beneficiary of the policy
- Estate size has changed
- Amount of coverage is no longer needed
When evaluating a life settlement in Florida consider the following:
A life settlement company or broker should pay all costs associated with ordering life expectancy reports, medical documents and other documents necessary to providing a life settlement transaction in Florida. The company or broker should also be willing to pay the upfront costs for insurance agents, attorneys and other financial professionals interested in a life settlement for their senior client. These costs include ordering documentation, processing the application and sending out the packet on the behalf of the client. Whether you are the policyholder or representing a senior client, all services should be without obligation.
When searching for an experienced life settlement company that handles senior settlements in Florida, only work with those companies that provide you with more options. A life insurance policy should be shopped with dozens of institutional buyers that are willing to compete for the purchase of your policy. This will assure that you are getting the most competitive offers for the sale of your life insurance policy. The company should also be willing to negotiate with their lenders because their fiduciary responsibility is to the client and not the buyer.
Below are examples of the different financial professionals that work with life settlement companies:
- Attorneys & Lawyers
- Financial Planners & Financial Advisors
- Accountants and CPA's
- Life insurance Brokers and Agents
- Estate Planners
- Tax Attorneys
- Financial Professionals representing seniors
Many Florida seniors choose to sell their life insurance policies because they are no longer in the financial position to pay the ongoing premiums on the policy. Other reasons to securing a Florida life settlement is the policy is about to lapse or they have outlived the beneficiary of the policy. Life insurance companies do very little educating seniors that life settlements exist. In fact, insurance companies benefit from lapsed polices because they are no longer obligated to pay death benefits to the beneficiary of the policy. Furthermore a life insurance policy is oftentimes more valuable in the secondary markets.
Below is a list of some of life insurance polices that an institutional investor would consider purchasing:
