Should You Surrender – Or Sell Your Life Insurance Policy Through A Life Settlement?
Every year, policyholders walk away from billions of dollars in life insurance life settlement value. According to industry studies, more than $100 billion in life insurance face value is surrendered or lapsed annually, and a staggering 90% of life insurance policies may never pay a death benefit.
If you’re thinking about surrendering your policy, stop and consider this: You may be able to sell your life insurance policy through a life settlement and receive a significant cash payout.
Surrendering Your Life Insurance vs. Life Settlement: What’s The Difference?
- Surrendering a policy means canceling it in exchange for the cash surrender value (if there is any). This amount is often far less than your policy’s true market value.
- Selling your policy through a life settlement means you receive a lump-sum cash offer. In many cases, the offer is much more than the surrender value.
Why Sell Your Policy Through A Life Settlement?
- Get More Than The Surrender Value
Life settlements can unlock the true value of your policy—often resulting in far more cash to you than surrendering a policy. - No More Premium Payments
Once you sell your policy, you’re no longer responsible for future premiums. - Use The Cash However You Want
Proceeds from a life settlement are yours to use. Pay for medical care, long-term care, debt relief, family needs, investment opportunities or simply boost your retirement income. - Fast and Easy Process
At LifeRoc, many clients receive a free policy appraisal in just days and can complete their settlement within weeks.
