Partial Policy Life Settlements: Access Cash Now And Keep A Death Benefit For Your Family

An Option For Policyholders Who Want Both Cash And Coverage

Many seniors are learning that life insurance is more than just a safety net—it’s a financial asset. While a full life settlement involves selling an entire policy for a lump-sum cash payment, there’s another option that offers flexibility: a partial life settlement with a retained death benefit.

This option allows you to sell part of your life insurance policy, get cash now, and still keep a portion of the death benefit for your beneficiaries. For policyholders who want immediate funds without giving up all their coverage, it can be an attractive middle ground.

What Is a Partial Policy Life Settlement?

A partial policy life settlement, also known as Retained Death Benefit (RDB) is when you sell a portion of your life insurance policy to a licensed provider. In exchange, you receive a lump-sum cash payment, and the funder assumes responsibility for a future premiums.

The part of the beneficiary interest that you don’t sell is structured to provide a retained death benefit—meaning your beneficiaries will still receive a payout when you pass away during the retained death benefit period, even though you accessed part of the policy’s value during your lifetime.

How a Retained Death Benefit Works

With a retained death benefit:

• You received some cash upfront..

• You no longer pay premiums on the policy.

• Your beneficiaries will receive the retained coverage.

This approach is especially valuable for those who:

• Need immediate liquidity but want to keep some life insurance protection

• No longer need the full original face value of the policy

• Want to reduce or eliminate premiums while maintaining coverage for the beneficiaries

Benefits of a Partial Life Settlement

Choosing a partial sale with a retained death benefit can provide:

• Cash now for medical care, debt reduction, home improvements, travel, or retirement needs

• Ongoing financial security for your loved ones through the remaining death benefit

• No premiums on the retained portion of your coverage

• Flexibility to use your policy as both a living and death benefit

Who Qualifies For A Partial Policy Life Settlement?

A partial policy life settlement can be ideal for:

• Seniors with policies valued at $100,000 or more who no longer need the full coverage amount.

• Clients 65 years of age or older.

• Policyholders who want to share their policy’s value with family now and later.

• Your policy or situation allows for a partial settlement.
