Life Settlements
The sale of a Life Insurance policy has become an increasingly popular way for retirees to get a fair market price for their Life Insurance policy that is much greater than the cash surrender value available from the policy issuer. A Life Settlement can be done for various reasons, such as the inability to afford premiums, changes in tax law or high medical costs associated with a terminal illness (such settlements are known as Viatical Settlements). IMS Settlements is a leading Life Settlement Broker that can help you obtain the highest price for your Life Insurance Policy.
