Life Settlement
Pre-Qualification Worksheet
The purchasing parameters for a life transaction will differ from one purchaser
(known as “providers” in the industry) to another.
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.
Policy parameters should adhere to the following guidelines:
- Face amounts of $250,000 and up
- Ages 80+, or 75+ with health changes since the policy was issued
- Current Assumption UL policies but can price GUL policies
- Last to Die, with one remaining insured living
- Convertible Term
- Premiums of less than 5-6% of DB to maturity
