Ron do you know of any companies that will settle a policy like this> You may get more than the surrender value. one? My knowledge of this industry is limited as I have only dealt with a small number of companies (Coventry First, Life Settlement Solutions, and one other that does not immediately come to mind). All of the companies I deal with suggest the following for a successful life settlement: 1. A medically recorded decline in health since policy issuance. If the original insurer believed the insured would live a normal life expactancy, but new information suggest they will not, than the settlement company knows that they will need to make fewer premium payments than the insurance company expects to receive. The OP suspects she is in excellent health, however. 2. Policy face amounts must be larger than $250k. Because of the fixed costs associated with settling the case, all of our companies insist the policy be larger than $250k (I definitely can't say this is the case for ALL companies). 3. The insured needs be over age 65. Life expectancy estimates become more accurate as the insured ages. Most companies are hesitant to make life expectancy calculations on someone as young as the OP. They are also reluctant to pay premiums for the next 25 years because the insured is only 60 (and in good health). Our firm has been hesitant to deal with any but the largest of the settlement companies and rightfully so, I think. I wouldn't want "Soprano Life Settlement Company, LLC" to have a vested interest in my demise! Even the largest company out there, Coventry First, is now under fire for unethical practices. Having said that, if there are reputable companies that are willing to analyze smaller cases like this one, I would appreciate the chance to give them a look. Thanks in advance. |

Ron, do you know of any companies that will settle a policy like this> You may get more than the surrender value. one?
