Viatical Settlement vs. Life Settlement
A life settlement is when a senior-aged individual in fairly good health sells their life policy to a life settlement buyer. Those with a life-threatening illness such as cancer, ALS, or Alzheimer’s may qualify for a viatical settlement. Both viatical settlements and life settlements are the sale of a life insurance policy from an insured to a buyer, but the qualifications are different.

What is a Life Settlement?
A life settlement is the legal sale of an existing life insurance policy for more than its cash surrender value, but less than its net death benefit.
Can I Sell My Life Insurance Policy?
Yes. Many people don’t know their life insurance policy is a financial asset they have the legal right to sell. A life settlement is a legal financial transaction where the insured sells their life policy for a lump-sum cash payment. You pay for it so why shouldn’t you be able to sell it?
Who Qualifies for a Life Settlement?
To qualify for a life settlement, your life policy needs to be valued at $150,000 or more. You must also be at least 75 years of age. If you are not 75 or older, you must have a serious illness such as Cancer, ALS, or Alzheimer’s.
