What Is My Life Insurance Policy Worth?
The Importance Of Having Your Life Insurance Policy Appraised
If you have a life insurance policy you no longer need—or can no longer afford—you may be sitting on an untapped financial asset. What many seniors don’t realize is that their policy may be worth far more than the surrender value they’d receive from the insurance company.
Whether you’re looking to reduce expenses, support family, or fund care or retirement, it’s worth asking a simple but important question:
“What is my life insurance policy really worth?”
Your Life Insurance May Be A Hidden Asset
Most life insurance policies are treated as just that—insurance. But as you get older, your policy can also become a valuable financial asset that may be sold on the secondary market for cash through a life settlement.
A life settlement is a financial transaction in which you sell your life insurance policy to a funder for a lump sum payment. The buyer takes over the policy, pays future premiums, and receives the death benefit, while you get paid now—often significantly more than the surrender value.
What Determines the Value of a Life Insurance Policy?
The value of your policy in a life settlement depends on several key factors, including:
- Your age and health status
- The type of policy (universal, whole, term, etc)
- The face amount of the policy (typically $100,000 or more)
- Premium requirements
Seniors aged 65 or older with a change in health and a qualifying policy may be eligible for a payout that may be up to 4 to 7 times higher than the surrender value offered by the insurance company.
