Tax & Legal Considerations

What protections are in place to ensure the seller’s privacy and security?

Life settlements are governed by strict privacy laws that protect personal information. Medical records are shared only with licensed buyers who need them to evaluate the policy, and they cannot be used for any other purpose.

‍

Marketplaces and brokers use secure, encrypted systems to store and transmit documents. Many states require confidentiality agreements, secure data handling, and compliance with standards similar to HIPAA. Once the transaction is complete, your information continues to be protected under state law.

‍

Reputable marketplaces only partner with licensed, regulated buyers to ensure that every party handling your data follows the highest privacy and security standards.

“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.

"Transparent, professional, and fast."
I’d looked into selling my policy before, but the process always felt confusing. Settle made it easy to understand, kept me updated, and helped me close quickly with no pressure.

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.
