For Agents & Advisors

How can financial advisors help clients with life settlements?

Financial advisors play an important role in helping clients understand whether a life settlement may be an appropriate financial option. Many seniors are unaware that their life insurance policy can be sold, so advisors can start by helping evaluate whether the client still needs the coverage, whether premiums are becoming burdensome, or whether the policy is close to lapsing.

‍

Advisors can gather basic policy details, request an estimate through a marketplace, and help clients compare a settlement with alternatives such as surrendering, reducing the death benefit, or using policy riders.

‍

Advisors do not need to be experts in settlements, but they serve as trusted guides who help clients make informed decisions that align with their retirement and estate goals.

“They made the whole process simple.”
I didn’t even know you could sell a life insurance policy until I found Settle. They explained everything clearly, handled the paperwork, and got me an offer much higher than I expected.

"I finally got real value from my policy."
After paying premiums for years, I thought about letting my policy lapse. Settle helped me turn it into cash that I used for medical expenses and to help my grandkids.

Settlewealth.com is a website owned and operated by Settle Life, Inc. (“Settle”), a financial technology and life settlement marketing company based in the United States. Settle is not a licensed life settlement provider, nor a licensed life settlement broker, and does not engage directly in regulated life settlement transactions as a representative of policyholders. Our core function is to serve as a facilitative platform, designed to connect qualified life insurance policy owners with licensed life settlement providers, institutional buyers, and other investment-related entities, some of which may be affiliated with or compensated by Settle. These providers and firms operate independently and are solely responsible for the purchase and servicing of life insurance policies acquired through settlement transactions.

Settle is not acting in a fiduciary capacity, and our role does not include giving financial, legal, tax, or insurance advice. We do not offer or originate bids for policies, nor do we negotiate life settlement contracts on behalf of either sellers or buyers. Rather, Settle’s platform operates as a conduit, streamlining introductions and enabling potential transactions between consenting parties. In instances where a life settlement transaction is successfully completed as a result of a referral, lead, or introduction facilitated by SettleWealth.com, Settle may receive compensation from the licensed provider or other participating entities. The nature and amount of such compensation may vary by transaction and is typically paid from proceeds allocated within the provider’s purchase structure.
