Life Settlement Parameters

In addition to differences in the underwriting criteria for life insurance companies, the purchasing parameters for a life transaction also differ from one purchaser (known as “providers” in the industry) to another.

Qualifications to become a candidate for a life settlement transaction take into consideration age and health conditions. In general, the insured’s need to be above the age of 75, younger if there are serious health issues.

Policy parameters should adhere to the following guidelines: a loan balance below 30% of the face amount, a cash surrender value below 30% of the face amount, and premiums of 5% or less of the face amount.

Policy value amounts vary from one individual to the next.

An individual, a corporation, partnership, trust, or charity can be the owner of a policy. It is important for the provider to confirm that the policy is in force and not subject to any additional restrictions that would prevent payment of a death benefit, also that the policy is not hindered by any other party.
