What Is a Life Settlement?

A life settlement is the sale of an existing life insurance policy to a licensed third-party buyer for a cash payment greater than the policy's cash surrender value — but less than its net death benefit.

Millions of Americans age 65 and older unknowingly let valuable policies lapse each year. A life settlement can convert that policy into real capital — funds you can use today for retirement income, healthcare expenses, long-term care, or any other purpose.

Life settlements are legal, regulated transactions. The U.S. Supreme Court established a policyholder's right to sell their policy as a personal asset in Grigsby v. Russell (1911), and today comprehensive state consumer protections — including Florida's Office of Insurance Regulation — safeguard policyholders throughout the process.

Do You Qualify?

While every situation is unique, policyholders most likely to benefit from a life settlement generally meet several of the following criteria:

  • Age 65 or Older

    Most life settlement buyers focus on policies held by seniors, though younger policyholders with health changes may also qualify.

  • Policy Face Value of $100,000+

    Universal life, survivorship universal life (SUL), and convertible term policies typically qualify. Business-owned and certain group policies may also be eligible.

  • Change in Financial or Life Circumstances

    Retirement, a change in estate plan, unaffordable premiums, or reduced need for the death benefit are all common triggers.

  • Policy Is at Least 2 Years Old

    Florida and most states require a minimum holding period before a policy can be sold in a life settlement transaction.

  • Considering Lapsing or Surrendering

    If you're thinking about letting your policy go, a life settlement can provide dramatically more cash than surrendering it back to your insurer.

The Numbers Tell the Story

Every year, billions in potential life settlement value go unclaimed because policyholders simply aren't aware of this option. Coastline Life Partners exists to change that.

Frequently Asked Questions

Life settlements are a newer concept for many. Below are answers to the questions we hear most often. Still have questions? We're a phone call away.


Book a Consultation📞 Speak to a Specialist
Yes. Life settlements are fully legal, regulated transactions in Florida and most U.S. states. The right to sell a life insurance policy was established by the U.S. Supreme Court in Grigsby v. Russell (1911), and comprehensive consumer protections have developed at the state level since. Florida's Office of Insurance Regulation oversees all life settlement activity in the state.
Life settlement proceeds may have tax implications depending on your individual circumstances, including the original cost basis of the policy and your current tax situation. We strongly recommend consulting with a qualified CPA or tax advisor before completing a life settlement transaction. We can coordinate with your existing advisors as needed.
Every transaction is different. The timeline depends on how quickly policy documents and medical records can be gathered, the underwriting review, and market conditions — so we never promise a specific closing date. What we do promise is communication: we keep you informed at every milestone and never leave you wondering about status. Read more about the timeline →
When a policy is sold in a life settlement, ownership and beneficiary rights transfer to the buyer. The buyer assumes responsibility for premium payments and receives the death benefit upon the passing of the insured. It's important to discuss this with family members and estate planning advisors before proceeding, and we encourage those conversations.
Absolutely. Coastline Life Partners treats all client and policy information with the strictest confidentiality. Florida law requires all parties in a life settlement to maintain the privacy of the insured's personal and medical information. We will never share your information without your explicit written consent.
No. As a licensed life settlement broker, Coastline Life Partners can work directly with you and your insurance carrier to process the transaction independently. You are welcome to include your original agent or financial advisor in the process, but it is not required.
Universal life, survivorship universal life (SUL), and convertible term life policies are the most common candidates for a life settlement. Business-owned policies — including key person and buy-sell coverage — may also qualify. The minimum face value is typically $100,000, and the insured is generally age 65 or older.
A life settlement broker represents you, the policyholder, and has a duty to seek the best available offer by presenting your policy to multiple licensed buyers. A provider represents the buyer and makes a single offer on its own behalf. Coastline Life Partners is a broker — competition among buyers works in your favor. Broker vs. provider, explained →
Yes — if your term policy includes a conversion privilege. A convertible term policy can be converted to permanent coverage and then sold in a life settlement. Timing matters: conversion privileges often expire at a certain age or policy anniversary, so it pays to explore your options before that window closes. Learn how convertible term works →
Every policy is different, and we never quote a value — the market determines it. Your policy's worth is established by competitive bids from licensed institutional buyers and depends on factors such as the insured's age and health, policy type, face value, and ongoing premium costs. Our multi-bid process exists to make sure those buyers compete for your policy. What determines a policy's value →
