If you've never heard of a life settlement, you're not alone — and it can sound too good to be true at first. Here's what it looked like for one of our clients, so you can see if it might make sense for you too.

This is Bob. He's 75, retired, his kids are grown, and his house is paid off. Life is pretty good.

But Bob has a $250,000 life insurance policy — and every year, the premiums get harder to keep up with. Bob realizes he doesn't need the coverage the way he used to, and decides it's time to let it go.

He starts looking at his options. He calls his insurance carrier about surrendering the policy — but they only offer him $1,000. His other option? Let it lapse, and get nothing at all.

After years of paying into this policy, walking away with next to nothing didn't sit right with Bob. It felt like there had to be a better way.

So Bob does some research, and finds a third option he'd never heard of — a life settlement. He could sell his policy to a licensed buyer for far more than his insurer offered.

Why would a buyer pay so much more than the insurance company? Because they take over the remaining premiums, and eventually receive the death benefit — so it's worth more to them than it was to Bob's insurer.

That's when Bob found Lifestone Settlements. With their help, a buyer purchased his policy for $80,000 — eighty times what his insurer offered to surrender it.

With that money, Bob padded his savings, paid off medical bills, and finally took the trip he'd been putting off for years.

So — what's your policy really worth? Find out with a free, no-obligation review from Lifestone Settlements.

Best experience with a life insurance advisor regarding a conversion of a term policy. Dave was more helpful than any other firms advisor who I had reached out to. I would recommend you contact him because I had a very good experience.

  • No. The review is completely free and there is zero obligation to proceed. You decide if and when you want to move forward.

  • Never. We are not here to push anyone into anything. Our job is to give you honest information and let you make the best decision for yourself.

  • Yes — completely. We never sell, share, or disclose your information to anyone for any reason.

  • A life settlement is the legal sale of your existing life insurance policy to an institutional buyer. You receive more cash than your insurer would offer to surrender it. The buyer takes over all future premium payments and eventually receives the death benefit when the policy matures.

  • It depends on your age, health, policy type, face value, and current premium costs. On average, clients receive between 4 and 11 times more than what the insurance company would pay them to surrender. We will give you an honest, no-pressure estimate after your free review.

  • Absolutely not. The review is 100% free and there is zero obligation to proceed. Many people simply want to understand their options. You make the final decision on your own timeline, with zero pressure from anyone at Lifestone.

  • Most clients receive a firm offer within 2 to 3 weeks of starting the process. Our team handles all coordination with your insurance company — you won't have to fill out complicated forms or chase anyone for information.

  • Not at all. Many clients qualify simply based on their age and the type of policy they have. A change in health since your policy was originally issued can increase the offer you receive — but it is not a requirement. We will assess your specific situation for free.

  • In some cases, yes. You may be able to sell only a portion of your policy, receive a cash payment, retain a reduced death benefit for your beneficiaries, and stop paying premiums entirely. We will walk through every available option with you during your review.

  • Yes. Life settlements are a legal, regulated financial transaction recognized across the United States. We work exclusively with approved providers and comply fully with all applicable state regulations to ensure your transaction is safe, fair, and completely above board.
