Life Settlements Can Add Living Benefits to a Life Insurance Policy

The video can be viewed on the LISA website.

As the client says, the need or desire for a living benefit outweighed the need for a death benefit. This situation clearly demonstrates that life settlements can add even more value to life insurance, an already uniquely valuable product.

Although many policies have accelerated death benefit riders, these riders are quite limited in how and when they can be used. Typically, accelerated death benefit riders require the insured to have a life expectancy of less than two years. A life settlement may be available when an accelerated death benefit rider is not.

If you have clients facing a chronic illness, medical expenses or other financial hardships, a life settlement can make a meaningful difference in their lives.  Sharing this testimonial video with prospects and their advisors is a powerful way to demonstrate the value of a life settlement to them.
