CASH OUT LIFE INSURANCE​

A Life settlement is the sale of a life insurance policy. Life insurance policies are considered as an asset, like a home or a car, and you as the policy owner can sell it and receive a cash payment for the policy’s market value.

The policy could be sold to life settlements companies and the process is regulated in most states.

As soon as the ownership transfer is completed you will no longer need to pay any premiums and can receive the cash payment. Learn more about why should you sell your policy and the differences between providers and brokers in our blog.
