Vermont Life Settlement
A life settlement in Vermont is the sale of a life insurance policy for less than the face value of the policy but more than the cash surrender value of the life insurance policy. This means a policy is sold in the secondary market at a higher buyout than alternatively selling the same policy back to the carrier. A Life settlement provides seniors the ability to sell their life insurance policy for a lump sum of cash without risking a lapsed policy. Life settlements can be utilized by seniors that no longer need or can afford the ongoing premiums of keeping a policy active.

Some of the different life settlements available to seniors in Vermont include:
If you are evaluating a life settlement company that handles transactions in Vermont you should only work with those companies willing to shop your policy with multiple buyers. This will give you the best chance of securing the greatest cash value for the purchase of the life insurance policy. A company should also be experienced in negotiating the highest value for the policy; they should be prepared to negotiate the highest strike value for your policy. In fact, they have the fiduciary responsibility to the client and not the buyer.
The qualification process for a senior life settlement in Vermont may vary depending upon each institutional buyer:
- Age of 65 years or older is preferred
- A life expectancy of 12 years or less or be terminally ill at the time of the sale
- The face value should be at least $100,000 - no maximum
- Change in health status since the life insurance policy was issued
When evaluating life settlement companies doing business in Vermont consider those companies willing to provide the upfront costs associated with the transaction. A life settlement company or broker should be responsible for paying all costs when ordering medical documents and life expectancy reports for their clients. They must also assume the expense of processing the application, preparing the package and sending the packet to each of their institutional buyers. Whether the company is working directly with the client or with a financial representative, they should take on the full expense of a life settlement transaction. At Ideal we take on all expenses without obligation. If you decide against a senior life settlement during or after the process is completed, you owe Ideal Settlements nothing.

Please Note: Life insurance companies do very little educating seniors the benefits of a life settlement. Insurance companies have always made profits on lapsed policies and it's in their financial interest not to educate consumers this option exists. 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.
