What is a life settlement?
A life settlement or viatical settlement transaction takes place when a life insurance policy owner sells their policy to an investor for a lump sum of cash. In return, the investor will be assigned as the beneficiary of the policy and continue the monthly premium payments until the death of the policy owner. The amount of money a policy is worth is typically determined by the face value of the policy, premiums and life expectancy.
Why are policy holders selling their life insurance?
A policy owner may decide to sell his or her policy for several different reasons. The policy owner may no longer need the insurance, having difficulties making payments, need money for medical expenses, family member needs the money or want to cash it out so they can live the last days of their life in comfort. Regardless of the circumstance, selling a life insurance policy is much better than surrendering it or allowing it to lapse.
Considerations for investors in life settlements
If you are considering investing in life settlement, investors should understand the the value of life expectancy reports. The return on a life or viatical settlement will depend on the cash out value paid by the investor and the date of the insured’s death. Before investing in a life settlement, the fund will obtain a life expectancy report. This is an essential part of the process and its always required for every life settlement transaction. The life expectancy report will provide the necessary information needed to obtain a fair value for the policy. If the insured dies before the estimated life expectancy, the investor may receive a higher return. If the insured lives longer than the expected life expectancy, the investor’s return will be lower.
When investing in life settlements you will need to be comfortable with the company’s ability to perform and evaluate life expectancy reports. Life expectancy estimates are critical to the overall returns for the investor. If a company has a track record of underestimating life expectancies, their returns will be much lower, essentially costing their investors millions of dollars in returns. Before investing in a life settlement company, make sure they provide you information on past returns.
