How the Process Works

What role does a broker or marketplace play in the process?

A life settlement broker or marketplace represents the policyholder and makes the process easier, safer, and more competitive.

The broker gathers your policy details, organizes your application, and prepares your case so buyers can review it efficiently. Most importantly, the broker reaches out to multiple licensed buyers to create competition.

When several buyers review the same policy, offers typically increase. The broker also ensures your case is compliant with state regulations, privacy rules, and documentation requirements. They help explain offers, answer your questions, and guide you through the closing process.

A good marketplace is fully transparent, keeps you informed at each step, and helps you make a decision that aligns with your financial goals. Their role is to advocate for you and ensure you receive fair market value for your policy.

“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.
