Lapsing Policy VS Life Settlements
Posted: June 20, 2024 by John Welcom

Life sometimes takes unexpected turns, especially during retirement. Mary experienced such change. At 82, her life insurance policy, once a cornerstone of her estate plan, no longer fit her needs and gradually became too expensive to maintain. Her advisor suggested exploring a life settlement with Welcome Funds instead of lapsing the policy for $0.
Life sometimes takes unexpected turns, especially during retirement. Mary experienced such change. At 82, her life insurance policy, once a cornerstone of her estate plan, no longer fit her needs and gradually became too expensive to maintain. Her advisor suggested exploring a life settlement with Welcome Funds instead of lapsing the policy for $0.
Welcome Funds utilized its life settlement auction-based platform and systematically created competition, resulting in 40 bids, and a staggering amount of offers for one policy! Mary accepted the highest offer and received $400,000, which was 10x greater than the auction’s initial offer of $37,250. Welcome Funds doesn’t stop the bidding process, until there’s only 1 fund left standing, and everyone else has stated that they cannot compete with the high offer on the table. It uses its best efforts to exceed internal valuations and maximize payouts for its clients.
