    5 reasons seniors should sell their life ins. policy in 2018

    Many seniors are creatures of habit and are holding onto their large life insurance policies with expensive premiums that they may no longer need or afford.  Based on the new Tax Law Reform, 2018 could be the best time to sell their policy.

    1. The Estate Tax has been increased: The tax exemption has been raised to $11,200,000 per person, $22,400,000 per couple hence the policy may no longer be needed to pay any estate tax.
    2. Tax law change on selling life insurance policies: People who sell their policies will now receive the same treatment as those who cash surrender their policy. In many cases, selling the policy can net 2-4 times more than the current cash value!
    3. 20+ settlement companies bid on your policy: We have access to 20+ settlement companies that will bid on buying your policy for much more than the current cash surrender value.
    4. Term policies can also be sold: Even term policies with zero cash value can often be sold for cash.
    5. Receive money instead of paying expensive premiums: Many seniors are on a fixed income and struggle to pay premiums. This way they can receive a lump sum of cash and no longer have to pay those premiums which should improve their quality of life.

    2. Driving record: Companies can pull up an MVR (motor vehicle report) which can show drunk driving etc.
