Clients Too Healthy For a Life Settlement? Not Anymore!

Historically, qualifying for a life settlement meant the insured needed to have health impairments that affected their LE.

But that has changed. Lighthouse Life is now able to offer settlements with no medical underwriting, which means insureds—regardless of health status or history—may be able to qualify to sell their policies.

Fast Life Settlements With No Medical Underwriting

Insureds without significant health impairments can sell their life policies with no medical underwriting.

This is a great option for:

  • Policyowners who want a FAST settlement
  • Insureds who do not qualify for traditional settlements
  • Policies that are no longer needed
  • Underwater split dollar arrangements
  • Policyowners who want to replace a current policy with a new insurance policy or annuity

Martin sold his policy for more than 50x its cash surrender value

Martin, a fairly healthy 86-year old man, owned a $200,000 universal life insurance policy. He initially took it out to help protect his wife financially should he pass before her. When she predeceased him, he no longer needed the policy.

He had keep it in force for several years by using the accumulated cash value to pay the premiums, but the cash value was running low. Martin wanted to find a way to benefit from the policy without needing to make large, out-of-pocket premium payments which were scheduled to balloon significantly over the coming years.

Instead of letting the policy lapse and accepting the dwindling cash surrender value of $1,800, he contacted Lighthouse Life. After a free, thorough, and zero-pressure policy evaluation, Lighthouse Life purchased the policy from Martin for $101,000 – more than 50x the surrender value.

Who Can Qualify?

  • Insureds without significant health issues
  • Insureds age 70 or older
  • Policy death benefit: $200,000 to $10M
