Our current economic conditions have forced some seniors to begin looking at other financial options to help sustain their current and future financial position. Those seniors who relied on their investments to help pay for costs related to living and medical expenses are now looking at other ways to help fund these expenses. As economic conditions continue to spiral downward some seniors are beginning to evaluate life settlements as an option.
Life settlements are beginning to gain momentum due to a slumping economy and the ability to pull a significant cash flow through the sale of their life insurance policy. A life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy, for more than the cash surrender but less than the face value. The seller of the policy will receive a lump sum payment for their policy and will no longer be responsible for paying the ongoing premiums on the policy.
The life insurance settlement industry is a multi-billion dollar industry and growing. Due to down markets the investment opportunities in life insurance policies has become a viable financial investment tool for banks, hedge funds and private investors. Life settlement transactions are expected to continue to increase over the next several years as baby boomers enter into the market. Life settlements are a great way to fund retirement, pay off debt, and pay for long term care. It can also help pay for medical expenses and is oftentimes used by seniors interested in helping out family members before they die.
Some of the common reasons why seniors are considering life settlements include:
- Need money for medical expenses
- Can no longer pay ongoing premiums
- The policy is no longer performing
- Need money to pay for long term care
- Recently divorced
- Children no longer need the protection of the policy
- You need the money for other investment opportunities
