Why Life Settlements?
In order to maximize the value of their life insurance, seniors need to look beyond either lapsing or taking the cash value of their policies. The life settlement business provides an alternative to those choices.
Q Life Settlements buys policies directly from owners, eliminating broker fees, and allowing the owner to deal directly with the buyer. We hope to provide a quicker sale and higher proceeds to you, the seller of a policy. We have also developed a tax-advantaged, Medicaid-compliant, Senior Care Benefit Plan to administer the proceeds of a life settlement to cover long term care costs!
At Q Life Settlements, we strive to provide the most transparency and clarity in the life settlement process to empower our clients to pursue a direct life settlement. We find going direct typically results in a quicker settlement, and fewer fees- meaning you get more of your offer money in your pocket.
