How Consumers Lose Over $100 Billion In Life Insurance Annually
These are shocking numbers. How can they possibly be accurate?
For starters, there is still a need for consumer awareness. The majority of policyholders and financial advisors are simply unaware that a life settlement option exists. Further, life insurance companies, in most cases, are not required to inform their clients of the life settlement option. As a result, people may be paying their premiums for decades only to have the policy lapse when premiums become too burdensome.
This can be a terrible shame for seniors but can be especially tragic for cancer patients who could use the money to fund treatments or care.
One bright spot is that regulation has returned to this market. It's reported that all but five states now regulate life insurance settlements. This could be indicative of more investor capital entering this market, but the rate at which this is occurring is slow.
Companies that buy life insurance policies tend to offer the resources that help policyholders make the best decision, even if that decision is to not opt for a life settlement and instead pursue the 'accelerated death benefit' or simply keep the policy active. If a policyholder over the age of 65 is curious about the value of their policy on the secondary market, they can use a life settlement calculator to get an instant estimate.
