March 2011 Life Settlement Case Study

Viatical Settlement Case Study# 1:

57-year-old female

  • Life Insurance Policy Face Value: $750,000
  • Life Insurance Annual Premium: $900
  • Viatical Settlement Offer: $405,000
  • Life Insurance Policy Type: Universal Life Insurance
  • Life Insurance Cash Value: $0
  • Life Settlement Solutions: The client no longer wanted the life insurance policy she’d owned for 16 years, so her agent suggested that she explore its life settlement market value. Because of her age and poor health there were limited funders, but we were able to secure a life settlement appraisal. The client was thrilled to ultimately garner an offer that was $405,000 more than the policy’s cash value.

Life Settlement Example #2:

79-year-old male

  • Life Insurance Policy Face Value: $2M
  • Life Insurance Annual Premium: $131,718
  • Life Settlement Offer: $130,000
  • Life Insurance Policy Type: Universal Life Insurance
  • Life Insurance Cash Value: $0
  • Life Settlement Solutions: The client originally purchased his life insurance policy for estate tax purposes. Now that his estate has decreased, he no longer needs the estate tax life insurance policy. He decided to try to sell his policy directly, but also contacted us to see how high of a life Settlement appraisal number we would generate. The life settlement appraisal was higher than the cash offer for life insurance his agent received from his direct source, providing greater value to the client.

Life Settlement Case Study #3:

67-year old male

  • Life Insurance Policy Face Value: $200,000
  • Life Insurance Annual Premium: $6,159
  • Viatical Life Insurance Settlement Offer: $104,000
  • Life Insurance Policy Type: Term Life Insurance
  • Life Insurance Cash Value: $0
  • Life Settlement Solutions: This client was facing financial distress, and his agent suggested that he consider a life settlement to help him with much needed resources to help pay for living expenses. Given the face amount, there were a limited number of life settlement funders that would even consider this viatical life insurance settlement transaction, but we were able to find one and at least generate a life settlement appraisal. The eventual life insurance policy sale gave the client much needed liquidity.

February 2011 Life Settlement Case Study

Life Settlement Case Study# 1:

77-year-old male

  • Life Insurance Policy Face Value: $5M
  • Life Insurance Annual Premium: $214,500
  • Life Setlement Offer: $800,000
  • Life Insurance Policy Type: Universal Life Insurance
  • Life Insurance Cash Value: $0

Life Settlement Solution: The client had taken out a life insurance policy years ago in order to cover the taxes on his estate. His estate no longer required life insurance coverage for tax planning purposes and his life insurance policy had no cash surrender value. He did not want to lose all the money he had paid in premiums over the years, so he decided to pursue a life settlement. We were able to secure a life settlement appraisal that netted the client $800,000.

Life Settlement Case Study #2:

88-year-old male

    • Life Insurance Policy Face Value: $1M
    • Life Insurance Annual Premium: $81,500
    • Life Settlement Offer: $180,000
    • Life Insurance Policy Type: Universal Life Insurance
    • Life Insurance Cash Value: $10,786

Life Settlement Solution: This case involved an 88-year-old male in declining health whom needed money for medical treatment. His agent suggested that he explore a life settlement to see if he could get more out of the policy than just the cash value. Thanks to his agent’s advice, he walked away with a life settlement that was more than 16 times his policy’s cash value, greatly easing the burden of paying for his medical treatment.

Life Settlement Case Study #3:

74-year old male

      • Life Insurance Policy Face Value: $3.75M
      • Life Insurance Annual Premium: $136,304
      • Life Settlement Offer: $610,000
      • Life Insurance Policy Type: UL
      • Life Insurance Cash Value: $0

Life Settlement Solution: The client’s estate had decreased, and it had become very difficult for him to pay his life insurance policy premium. He needed to sell the life insurance policy or it was going to lapse. Instead of simply accepting the cash value, he decided to test the market and find out the value of his policy from a life settlement perspective. He was elated to receive a life settlement of more than half a million dollars, especially since his policy had no cash value.

  • Policy Face Value: $1.5M
  • Annual Premium: $36,052
  • Client Offer: $ 234,000
  • Policy Type: UL
  • Cash Value: $0

Summary: The client’s estate had decreased and it had become very difficult for her to pay her annual life insurance policy premium. She needed to sell the policy or it was going to lapse…and her policy had no cash value. She decided to test the market and find out the value of her policy from a settlement perspective, and was thrilled to receive an appraisal of nearly a quarter of a million dollars!

Case Study #2:

82-year-old male

  • Policy Face Value: $1.85M
  • Annual Premium: $65,100
  • Client Offer: $410,000
  • Policy Type: UL
  • Cash Value: $0

Summary: This client no longer needed his policy, which was originally purchased for estate tax purposes. The client was able to recoup much of the premium he had paid into the policy over the years.

Case Study #3:

87-year old male and 83-year-old female

    • Policy Face Value: $1.65M
    • Annual Premium: $59,260
    • Client Offer: $360,000
    • Policy Type: Survivorship Universal Life
    • Cash Value: $119,047

Summary: During a review of their estate plan/needs, the clients (a married couple) and their agent mutually determined that the SUL policy the clients had purchased years ago was no longer necessary. As this was the first life settlement transaction that the agent had ever attempted, he recommended that the client have it appraised. Even though the policy was a Florida-domiciled SUL, we were able to garner an appraised value that was more than three times the policy’s cash value, far exceeded the clients’ expectations.

  • Policy Face Value: $4M
  • Annual Premium: $193,280
  • Client Offer: $720,000
  • Policy Type: UL
  • Cash Value: $0

Summary: The client had taken out a life insurance policy years ago in order to cover the taxes on his estate. In time, his estate no longer required insurance coverage for tax planning purposes, but his policy had no cash surrender value. He did not want to lose all the money he’d paid in premiums over the years, and decided to pursue a life settlement. The life settlement appraisal and ultimate sale netted the client $720,000, but was also able to relieve the client of an increasingly unaffordable annual life insurance premium payment of more than $193,000.

Case Study #2:

81-year-old female

  • Policy Face Value: $2.8M
  • Annual Premium: $78,694
  • Client Offer: $280,000
  • Policy Type: UL
  • Cash Value: $181,646

Summary: This case involved a client who was paying nearly $80,000 per year for her life insurance policy, and was looking for a way to eliminate that expense. Her financial advisor suggested that a life settlement might be a viable way for her to ease the financial burden imposed by her annual premium. She agreed, had a life insurance appraisal and settled on an offer that garnered her almost $100,000 more than the policy’s cash surrender value.

Case Study #3:

82-year-old male

Being familiar with life settlements, he decided to secure a life settlement appraisal and test the market value of his policy. The client was able to obtain a settlement worth 19 percent of the policy’s face value. The client planned to gift the proceeds from the sale to his children.
