What is a life settlement?

A life settlement is the sale of all or part of an existing life insurance policy. Perhaps the policy is no longer needed or affordable. Instead of letting it lapse or surrender to the insurance carrier, a life settlement transaction via Boyd Settlements may be a better option.

Example (for educational purposes only): Mr. Smith (age 79) owns a $500,000 Universal life insurance policy. Premiums are $12,000 per year which he can no longer afford.

The cash surrender value is $5000 (this is the amount the insurance carrier would give him if he was to surrender the policy).

After contacting Boyd Settlements, his policy sold for $65,000.  $60,000 more than the surrender value.
