Life Expectancy Assessment
1–2 weeksBuyers typically order a life expectancy report from an independent medical underwriting firm. This is standard in life settlements. The report is confidential and used only for valuation purposes. We handle coordinating this for you.
We Shop Your Policy to Multiple Buyers
2–4 weeksThis is where the real work begins. Your policy is submitted to a network of qualified institutional buyers and a competitive bidding process runs to maximize your offer — with a fiduciary-licensed broker negotiating on your behalf.
You Review the Offers
Your timelineWe present you with all the offers we receive. You review them at your own pace with zero pressure. We'll explain each offer clearly and answer any questions. You decide whether to accept — or decline.
Closing & Transfer
2–4 weeksIf you accept an offer, the buyer prepares the closing documents. You sign the policy transfer paperwork with the help of a notary (we make this easy). The policy ownership transfers to the buyer.
