Life Settlement Broker vs Provider: What’s the Difference?
When considering a life settlement, it’s important to understand who you are working with. The two primary roles in the transaction are brokers and providers—and they serve very different functions.
What Is a Life Settlement Broker?
A broker represents the policyholder. Their role is to present the policy to multiple buyers and help secure the best possible offer.
What Is a Life Settlement Provider?
A provider is the buyer. They purchase the policy and become the new owner, taking over premium payments and receiving the death benefit.
Key Differences
- Broker: Represents you
- Provider: Purchases your policy
- Broker: Shops multiple buyers
- Provider: Makes an offer
Why This Matters
Working with a broker can create competition among buyers, which may improve the final offer.
