* Tax obligations will vary with the sale of an insurance policy. Life Insurance Settlements, Inc. does not make any representations as to the tax treatment of a sale of a life insurance policy.

FRONT-END: If a policy owner sells a policy to a licensed settlement provider and the transaction has been consummated in accordance with the state’s viatical and life settlement laws and regulations (front-end), the client and his insurance advisor have not participated in a transaction regulated as a security.

FRONT & BACK-END OF A LIFE SETTLEMENT

BACK-END: If an insurance advisor is raising funds for financing entities or reselling purchased policies to individual investors (back-end) this, according to most states, would constitute a security.

PREQUALIFICATION RESULTS… Clients who qualify for life settlements can see what the highest purchase offer is.

If they choose to accept the payment, they have added bottom-line dollars to their asset base.

Those who don't qualify, they will find out the total liquidation value of that asset. Therefore they will be able to properly re-calculate their net worth and know their true financial picture.
