In-force Life Insurance Policies What Are The
Options?
As time passes, many consumers face changing life
circumstances. If policy owners find that a life
insurance policy no longer meets their needs,
they may consider these options
  • Reducing the face amount
  • Surrendering the policy
  • Letting the policy lapse
  • Exercising a non-forfeiture option
  • Settling the policy in a life settlement
    transaction

Policy owners should explore all available
options and decide which one best fits their
unique needs.

The Financial Professional
The policy owner works with an appropriately
licensed agent who will represent their best
interests. When representing a policy owner in a
life settlement, the agent has a fiduciary duty
to that policy owner. The agent may or may not
be the person who originally sold the life
insurance to the policy owner.

The Life Settlement Broker
As a licensed life settlement broker, Invescor
will assist the agent in determining the
viability of the life settlement case. This
process begins with the agent completing a
pre-qualifying worksheet. If the policy owner is
both a good candidate and the policy has a good
probability for a life settlement, the client
completes a life settlement application and
authorization for medical record
release. Invescor orders medical records for the
insured and life expectancy reports, along with
an in-force life insurance policy illustration
and verification of coverage from the insurance
carrier.

SETTLEMENT PROBABILITY SCORING
Once you have established that your client has a
life settlement probability score of 19-28,
these are the next steps

  • Your client completes an Invescor application and
    authorization for medical record release. A
    minimum of two life expectancy reports are then
    ordered.
  • Once medical records are received, life
    expectancy reports are in place and an internal
    valuation has been completed, the file is sent to
    all appropriate life settlement providers that
    have passed our due diligence process,
    accompanied by at least one in-force life
    insurance illustration.

FIDUCIARY DUTY
What is Fiduciary Duty?
  • A fiduciary is prohibited from acting in a manner
    adverse to the interests of the policy owner.
  • When representing a policy owner in a life
    settlement transaction, the agent owes a
    fiduciary duty to the policy owner, and must act
    according to the policy owners instructions.
  • Under the National Association of Insurance
    Commissioners (NAIC) Revised Model Act, a
    viatical settlement broker is deemed to represent
    only the viator, and not the insurer or the
    viactical settlement provider, and owes a
    fiduciary duty to the viator to act according to
    the viators instructions and in the best
    interest of the viator.
  • Similarly, under the National Conference of
    Insurance Legislators (NCOIL) Model Act, an
    agent represents only the owner and owes a
    fiduciary duty to the owner to act according to
    the owners instructions, and in the best
    interest of the owner.

Generally, Fiduciary Duty is an obligation to act
in the best interest of another party. Each life
settlement broker owes the seller (policy owner)
a fiduciary duty

The Life Settlement Provider and Financing Entity
Life settlement providers may attempt to acquire
policies for their own portfolio or for a
financing entitys portfolio. Life settlement
providers have a fiduciary relationship to the
financing entity. Financing entities are
typically large financial institutions with
significant funds to invest that have agreements
with life settlement providers to provide the
necessary capital to buy in-force life insurance
policies. They acquire these policies and pay the
ongoing policy premiums. Policies are typically
pooled with other policies. These pools may then
become asset-backed securities that are sold to
investors (similar to what transpires in the
mortgage business). The provider is required to
keep the insureds identity confidential from the
investors in these transactions. The life
settlement provider or a servicing company
administers the records and keeps the policy
in-force until maturity. Since the policy remains
in-force, the life insurance company continues to
receive the premium payments when due.

FIDUCIARY DUTY
What is the Life Settlement Providers Fiduciary
Duty?
  • The life settlement provider is trying to buy the
    life insurance policy for the lowest possible
    price and assuring clear title to the asset
  • A life settlement provider represents only the
    financing entity and owes a fiduciary duty to the
    financing entity to act according to the
    financing entitys instructions, and in the best
    interest of the financing entity

Generally, Fiduciary Duty is an obligation to act
in the best interest of another party. The
relationship can exist whenever one person (the
principal) places special trust in another (the
agent) to exercise discretion or expertise to act
on behalf of the principal. A fiduciary is
prohibited from acting in a manner adverse to the
interests of the principal and from acting for
their own benefit.
