If you are currently evaluating a senior life settlement in North Carolina consider working with a company that is willing to shop your life insurance policy through a network of multiple buyers. This will provide you with a better chance of securing the largest cash value for the purchase of the policy. A company should also have experience negotiating the highest cash value for the policy; a company can negotiate a life settlement during and after bids have been received.
North Carolina life settlements have become increasingly popular over the last several years as they yield a higher cash value than selling the policy back to the insurance carrier. There are more seniors now aware of the option due to education and public awareness. A life settlement in North Carolina is the sale of a senior life insurance policy for less than the face value but more than the cash surrender value of a policy. A Life settlement is a way for a senior to sell their existing life insurance policy for a lump sum of cash.
Life insurance companies do little informing seniors the benefits of a life settlement. Insurance companies have always made profits on lapsed policies. If a policy lapses for any reason, there is a chance the insurance company will not pay the death benefits to the beneficiary at the time of death. If you no longer can afford the life insurance premiums you may consider selling your policy back to the insurance carrier that issued the policy. The other alternative is having your policy shopped in the secondary market for a larger payout than the surrender value.
Some of the different life settlements provided to seniors in North Carolina include:
The qualifications for a North Carolina senior settlement will vary depending upon buyer; some of the qualifications may include:
- Age of 65 years or older is preferred
- A life expectancy of 12 years or less or is terminally ill
- Face value should be at least $100,000 - no maximum on a policy
- Change in health status since the life insurance policy was issued
A life settlement broker should be responsible for paying the costs of ordering medical records and life expectancy records for each senior client. They should also assume the expense for processing the application, preparing the package and sending the packet to a network of financial institutional buyers. Whether the company is working directly with the policyholder, family member or financial professional, the company should always take on the expenses associated with a life settlement transaction.
