Procuring Needed Capital from Donated Life Insurance Policies
Those who are employed by non-profit organizations and foundations as fundraisers and planned giving officers will want to be aware of the opportunities associated with increasing revenue through Life Settlements.
Some of your donors have made extremely generous gifts with the intention of the charity benefiting only upon the death of the donor. When the charity needs to realize funds sooner rather than later, a life settlement emerges as an effective financial planning tool.

In a Senior Life Settlement, Clients Rely on their Financial and Legal Advisors for Proper Due Diligence
No longer is life insurance an “untouchable” product that must always be held until death. Life insurance is merely one asset within an estate or financial portfolio that should be managed for optimum outcomes. Rather than letting a policy lapse, not converting a term policy, or accepting the carrier’s nonforfeiture options, your qualified clients’ policies can be appraised on the secondary market where you learn what the policy is worth in cash and as a paid-up policy.
As a financial advisor, you can help your clients tap the liquidity that may be hidden in unneeded life insurance policies. However, understanding that you have a responsibility to represent the seller’s interest in a life settlement transaction, you have a fiduciary duty to your client in determining suitability of this option and making recommendations regarding the sale of a life insurance policy only after evaluating all aspects of your client’s financial position and overall investment strategy.

Generally speaking, the surrender value on a life insurance policy is a fraction of what one may receive from a life settlement transaction.
