A Living Benefits Marketplace

Cash in from your life insurance policy the smart way

Before you surrender or let your life insurance policy lapse, see what it could be worth first. Living Benefits Advisory gives you a fast appraisal and lets you compare offers from licensed life settlement buyers — so you can make a more informed decision about your policy.

Estimates are illustrative only and do not constitute an offer to purchase any life insurance policy. Actual settlement amounts depend on individual policy terms, insured health, age, and buyer evaluation. Life settlements are regulated transactions and may not be available in all states. Living Benefits Advisory is not an insurance company and does not provide legal, tax, or financial advice.

Cash in on your terms

Accept the offer that works for you, complete the paperwork with guidance from our team, and receive your lump-sum payment. Or walk away at any time.

Don't let your policy lapse for nothing

Money for what matters now

Policyholders use their settlement to retire more comfortably, cover medical or long-term care costs, help family, or simply stop paying premiums they no longer need.

  • Lump-sum cash payment, yours to use freely
  • No more premium payments after the sale
  • Often several times the cash surrender value*

Do you qualify?

Every policy is different, but buyers typically look for a few things.

Age 65+ or health changes

Policyholders 65 and older — or younger with significant health changes since the policy was issued — tend to receive the strongest offers.

$100K+ death benefit

Policies with a face value of $100,000 or more attract the widest pool of licensed buyers, though smaller policies can still qualify.

Frequently asked questions

What is a life settlement?
A life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy to a licensed third-party buyer for a lump-sum cash payment — typically more than the cash surrender value but less than the death benefit. The buyer takes over the premiums and receives the benefit later.
How much could my policy be worth?
It depends on your age, health, policy type, face value, and premium costs. Policies sold in a competitive marketplace have historically received several times their cash surrender value. Your free estimate gives you an illustrative range in about 60 seconds.
Does it cost anything to get an appraisal?
No. Your estimate and appraisal are free, and you're never obligated to accept any offer.
Is this legal and regulated?
Yes. Life settlements are regulated transactions in most U.S. states, and buyers must be licensed. Regulations vary by state, and life settlements may not be available everywhere.
Will I owe taxes on the proceeds?
Possibly — tax treatment depends on your basis in the policy and the amount received. We recommend consulting a tax professional. Living Benefits Advisory does not provide legal, tax, or financial advice.
