Reasons to Sell Your Life Insurance Policy

There are several reasons why someone would decide to sell or abandon a life insurance policy. Below are five of the most common:

  • The Policy is no longer needed or wanted - As the circumstances of life change over time, so do insurance needs. Perhaps a spouse or another beneficiary is now deceased. Or perhaps two people own a business together and create a buy-sell agreement funded by an insurance policy. The policy is no longer needed if the business goes under or one of the partners desired to retire early.
  • Possibility of acquiring a superior insurance policy - Policy holders may determine that they can obtain a better policy, with a more expansive coverage and lower premium payments. In such cases, holding on to an older policy can often be detrimental to your financial portfolio.
  • Premium payments have become unaffordable - Large or escalating premium payments can prove to be a tremendous burden, particularly on a senior trying to survive off of a measly pension and/or social security. In order to sustain a good quality of life, such seniors may need to get out from under this financial burden.
  • Changes in estate planning needs - As financially adept seniors seek to maximize the value of their estates, they may have found ways to minimize or eliminate the need for life insurance to pay estate or gift taxes.
  • Rising healthcare costs or mounting financial concerns - Health problems and other unforeseen difficulties can create circumstances that increase financial burdens and needs.
