Life Insurance Settlement is Gaining Importance

A life insurance settlement takes place when you sold your policy to a third party. The policyholder may sell his policy because he needs cash for medical expenses as he is ill for a longer period of time. The policyholder will do this because he is need of cash now otherwise what is the use of that policy after the policyholder dies. This type of transaction is called as viatical life settlement. If the policyholder surrenders the policy to the insurance company for the cash surrender value, he will not get that much money, instead of that, policyholder can sell that policy to a third party for more money. The policyholder can also sell term insurance policy even if there is no cash value, because the third party can convert it into whole or universal life insurance policies.

Delloite consulting has estimated that the senior life settlement market would grow to over $100 billion. A 78 year old man sold his $1,000,000 universal life policy to a third party for $100,000. If he would have surrendered that policy to insurance company he would have received cash surrender value of just $15,000.
