Life Settlement vs. Your Other Options

What happens to a policy you no longer need?

Most policyholders only know two options — keep paying, or walk away. There are usually four. Here's how they compare.

Let it lapse

What You Receive

$0

How It Works

Coverage ends. Years of premiums are gone.

Best For

No one — this is the outcome to avoid.

Surrender to the carrier

What You Receive

Cash surrender value — often a small fraction of the death benefit

How It Works

The insurance company buys the policy back at its internal value.

Best For

Policyholders who need to exit quickly and don't qualify for a settlement.

Reduce or convert

What You Receive

Lower coverage, lower or no premiums

How It Works

You keep a smaller policy in force, or convert a term policy to permanent coverage.

Best For

Policyholders who still want some coverage in place.

Often the Best Outcome

Sell it in a life settlement

What You Receive

Typically 4–11× the cash surrender value

How It Works

An institutional buyer purchases the policy for more than the carrier would pay. You receive a lump sum.

Best For

Policyholders 65+ with $100,000+ in coverage and a change in health since the policy was issued.

Comparisons are general. Eligibility and outcomes depend on policy type, carrier, health, and current market conditions.

Do I Qualify for a Life Settlement?

Is a life settlement right for you?

Life settlements aren't for everyone — and we'll always tell you straight. Here's a quick gut check before you fill anything out.

Often a Good Fit
  • You're 65 or older
  • Your policy's face value is $100,000 or more
  • Your health has changed since the policy was issued
  • You're paying premiums on coverage you no longer need — or can no longer afford
Probably Not Yet
  • You're under 60, or in excellent health with no changes since the policy was issued
  • Your policy is small — under $100,000 in coverage
  • You still need the coverage to protect someone who depends on it

Not sure where you land? That's exactly what the free review is for — and there's never any obligation either way.

Good Questions

What to know before you ask

Yes. There's no cost to you for a Lifestone estimate, and no obligation to accept any offer. We're compensated only when a sale closes — and that compensation comes from the institutional buyer, not from you.
No. Most life settlements are for healthy seniors aged 65 and older with permanent policies of $100,000 face value or more. A change in health can improve the offer, but it isn't required.
Most permanent policies — whole life, universal life, indexed UL, and variable UL — may qualify. Convertible term policies often qualify too. Group policies and non-convertible term usually don't.
After your specialist call, we'll come back to you with a real estimate based on your policy and the current market. If you decide to proceed, a full offer typically takes 4 to 8 weeks depending on how quickly the carrier and medical records come back.
They can be, depending on your basis in the policy and how proceeds are characterized. Tax treatment varies by state and situation — consult your tax advisor before making any decision.

Not sure if it's worth checking?

Most policyholders are surprised by what their policy is actually worth. It costs nothing to find out.
