    The short answer

    Offers vary by policy, age, health and premiums. A life settlement can pay up to 9x the cash surrender value*, but an estimate is not a guaranteed offer.

    What determines an offer

    Licensed buyers weigh the policy’s coverage, premiums, guarantees, your age and health, and the cost of keeping coverage active.

    Compare your options

    A life settlement can pay up to 9x the cash surrender value*. This comparison is not to face value and is not a promised result. Compare actual net offers with your insurer’s surrender quote and the value of keeping coverage.

    Start with an appraisal

    An appraisal gives a preliminary range. Binding offers come only after licensed buyers review the policy and records.
