Understanding Life Insurance Settlements

• According to research from the Insurance Studies Institute, more than 500,000 individuals lapse their life insurance policies, 2 million surrender their policies each year, yet only 3,000 took advantage of a life settlement.
• About 90% of seniors report that they might have considered a life settlement if they had been made aware of the option.
