Every year, millions of seniors lapse or surrender their life insurance policies for little or no value in return from their insurance company. Life Settlements help seniors by giving them the option to sell their policy instead, receiving significantly more value than had they otherwise given up their policy. The money we pay seniors helps meet retirement needs, healthcare costs, long term care expenses, or whatever else they’d like.

• Make initial contact calls on acquisition opportunities. Direct support managers to handle follow‑up, documentation collection, and pipeline movement.
