How it works

Understanding selling your life insurance: Why it makes sense

You might not think of life insurance as an asset you own. The reality is, a life insurance policy is actually a form of equity you own. If you sell your life insurance policy in exchange for a fixed cash value, it will be less than what the death benefit is, but this is often desirable for various reasons as we describe below.

Everyone’s needs are different.

Are you reaching retirement age? A lot of decisions happen now. One of them is reevaluating your life insurance policy. Do you still want or need it?

​

Life insurance is an asset YOU own.
​

Redeeming you policy for a fixed cash value has a lot of benefits. You might relate to any of the following scenarios when thinking about redeeming your life insurance policy:

Scenario #1: “My kids are grown up and financially stable.” Your beneficiaries may no longer be dependent on you for their financial security. You can use the redeemed value of your life insurance policy towards your own needs.

 

Scenario #2: “I can’t afford to continue paying these premiums forever.” You may not want the extra bills to continue landing on your kitchen table month after month for a policy you don’t really want. Redeem your life insurance policy to end monthly premium bills, while benefiting from the lump sum payout that is your due.

 

Scenario #3: “I’d want to enjoy my golden years.” Life changes and your needs and wants change with it. Maybe you want to buy a vacation home, travel the world or enjoy your money in other ways? Redeeming you life insurance policy allows you to benefit from the money that is already yours, right away.
