Welcome to Wealth Haven Financial & Insurance Group, PLLC – Where your financial security and peace of mind are our top priority. Secure your future with us today!
Are you 65 or older and wondering how to make the most of your life insurance policy? A Life Settlement could be the key to unlocking a brighter, more secure future. Here's why it might be the perfect choice for you:
Concerning chronic illness, this would ordinarily be a time when the death benefit of a life insurance policy would seem most imminent, but certain illnesses are long-term in nature and require very costly medical or custodial care. When all else fails, a life settlement can provide critically needed funds now to help pay those medical expenses.
If you feel that you are nearing the end of your life and the beneficiaries of your life insurance policy don’t need those benefits anymore, you might want to quit paying premiums for insurance that won’t benefit you. When you work with our team regarding the Life Settlement Program, we'll use the free life settlement appraisal program through our partnership with Asset Planning Life Settlement to find out how much you can liquidate your life policy cash for so you can use it now to pay for your rent, put food on your table, pay for your long-term care, assisted living expenses, or home health care needs.
Term policies are among the most likely life settlement to be overlooked. Many advisors and clients don’t realize that a term policy (including group term), if convertible to universal life, can be sold in a life settlement. Since term policies generally don’t have any cash surrender value, a life settlement can truly provide a substantial amount of “unfound money” for you to enjoy.
Other policies you can turn into cash include convertible term, non-convertible term, indexed UL, variable universal life, whole life, second to die UL, partial policy solutions, and more.

What is a Life Settlement?
A Life Settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy to a third party for more than its cash surrender value but less than its net death benefit. This allows policy owners to receive a lump sum of cash that can be used to meet specific financial goals, such as paying off debt, funding a grandchilds education, or covering long term care expenses.
Take Note: Life Settlements may not be suitable for everyone. It depends on your needs, personal situation, and what is in the best interest for you. We recommend you consult with us before making any decision so we can determine if a Life Settlement is right for you.
Why Consider a Life Settlement?
1. Immediate Financial Relief: Imagine the peace of mind that comes with a significant lump sum payment. Whether it's paying off debts, covering unexpected medical expenses, or simply enjoying your retirement, this money can make a real difference in your life.
2. Freedom from Premium Payments: No more worrying about monthly premiums. Once you sell your policy, those payments are no longer your responsibility, giving you more financial freedom.
3. Make the Most of Your Funds: If your life insurance policy no longer fits your needs, why not convert it into cash? Use the money for what truly matters to you—be it travel, home improvements, or investing in new opportunities.
