Life Insurance Assets and Long-Term Care Insurance
Long-term care insurance can help reduce the costs of senior living. Additionally, many people are unaware that their life insurance policy can be a valuable financial asset. This asset can be sold to fund current senior living expenses through a process known as a Life Settlement. This involves selling an existing life insurance policy to an investor for a lump sum cash settlement, which is typically higher than the cash surrender value offered by the insurance company.
Cash settlements usually range from 10% to 40% of the life insurance policy’s face value. Policy owners might consider this option if they have outlived the purpose of the policy, can no longer afford it, feel it has become an underperforming asset, or need liquidity and are considering letting the policy lapse.
