Starting the life settlement process is simple and usually begins with a basic estimate to understand whether your policy may qualify. Most sellers begin by sharing some general information such as age, policy type, insurance carrier, and coverage amount. This first step does not require medical exams or long forms. If the estimate suggests your policy could qualify, the next step is completing a formal application.
The application allows licensed buyers to review policy documents, premium schedules, ownership information, and basic health records. Once your application is submitted, the marketplace or broker gathers your policy documents from the insurance company and organizes your case for review.
Buyers then evaluate whether the policy fits their criteria. If interested, they begin preparing potential offers. Starting the process does not commit you to anything. It simply opens the door to learning what your policy might be worth and whether a settlement is the right financial option for you. Everything is confidential, and you remain in control of the decision at every stage.
