A LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER
De
ar Policy Owner/Insured:
As Founder & CEO of Welcome Funds, I would personally like to thank you for considering our team to serve as your
personal representative in the secondary market for life insurance. We understand that you have choices in this process
and we appreciate the opportunity to represent you. We also know that selling your life insurance policy is an important
financial decision for you and your family, and our goal is to ensure that you are able to make this choice with confidence.
Welcome Funds is the one of the oldest and largest life settlement brokers in the United States and has assisted thousands
of Americans since our founding in 2000. As your broker, we work diligently to represent your best interests during the
entire transaction, from initial evaluation through the closing process. Our procedures consist of the following:
Initial evaluation and review to determine eligibility;
Evaluation Request assessment and processing;
Medical records requests and life insurance policy verifications;
Obtaining independent third party life expectancy report(s);
Submission to authorized and/or state licensed secondary market buyers of life insurance policies;
Best execution negotiations via an auction process in an effort to maximize the sales price of your policy;
Closing services including contract review and assistance with closing contingency requirements.
In addition to the traditional procedure and lump sum cash settlements offered by the secondary market, we are also able to
provide alternative options that you may want to consider, depending on your personal needs:
1. Expedited Bid Process for situations that require a fast turnaround time due to the possibility of a lapse or a
personal financial crisis;
2. Retained Death Benefit Offers an offer to purchase the policy that includes a beneficiary of your choice
maintaining some death benefit, with the buyer paying all future premiums. This can include a combination of a cash
payout & retaining a portion of the death benefit. This option may not be available in all states or for all policies; or
3. Life Insurance Loansif you are interested in a loan using your life insurance policy as collateral, we can also work
with multiple lending firms to secure financing. A loan option may not be available in all states or for all policies.
Please be sure to inform your advisor or your case manager if you would like to consider any of the above options. We
would also like to recommend that you discuss the tax consequences of selling your life insurance policy with a tax
advisor, as it is likely a taxable event, unless the insured qualifies for a viatical settlement or long-term care exemption in
compliance with IRS codes. Additionally, we have attached a brief brochure for your review issued by the Kansas
Insurance Department titled, "Selling Your Life Policy" to provide an unbiased, independent description of
selling policies in the secondary market.
As a reminder, you are under no obligation to sell your life insurance policy, in fact, if you need your coverage and can
afford to maintain it, we highly recommend that you do so!
Once again, thank you for allowing us the opportunity to help you reach your financial goals and to represent you in the
secondary market for the potential sale of your life insurance policy.
Sincerely,
Joh
n M. Welcom

Selling
Your
Life Policy
What to
Know About
Viatical Settlements
Before you sell
Your Policy
Today it is possible for you to sell your
life insurance policy to someone else and
receive an immediate cash benefit to use for
whatever reason you choose. This financial
arrangement, known as a viatical settle-
ment, is best suited for people who are living
with immediate life-threatening illness and
facing difficult financial choices.
It may not always be in your best interest
to sell your policy. Before you take action,
you want to be sure you understand
What future benefits you may lose
What other options may be available
This brochure is designed to provide some
of that information. However, it only pro-
vides a starting point. If you have addi-
tional questions, please call us.

Make an informed decision
Have your needs changed?
Before you sell your policy for cash you
should carefully consider the loss of valuable
insurance protection which you may not be
able to get again. Remember that the costs for
coverage increase significantly as you age and
that you also must be in good health to qual-
ify for coverage.
Check all of your options
Find out if you have any cash value in your
policy. You may be able to (1) borrow from
the cash value, (2) cancel the policy for its cur-
rent cash value, (3) use the cash value as col-
lateral to secure a loan from a financial institu-
tion.
Find out if you have an “accelerated benefit”
rider on your policy. If available, it could pay
you a substantial portion of your policy’s
death benefit without requiring you to sell
your policy. It may be your best option.
Other considerations
Check out the tax implications. Not all pro-
ceeds from a viatical settlement are tax free.
Find out if the proceeds would be subject to
the claims of any creditors.
Find out if you will lose any public assistance
benefits such as food stamps, unem-
ployement, or Medicaid if you accept a cash
settlement for your life policy.
Consumer protections in Kansas
Any agent or company arranging viatical set-
tlements must be licensed with the Kansas In-
surance Department.
The company buying your policy must keep
your identity and medical history confidential
unless you give them written consent.
To protect your proceeds, the company buying
your policy must put your money into an es-
crow account with an independent party dur-
ing the transfer process.
You have the right to change your mind about
the settlement AFTER you receive the money,
provided you return all the money. You have
15 days to review your settlement arrange-
ment.
The new owner of your policy is limited to the
number of times they may contact you about
your current health status.
This is a summary of Kansas law. For more
detailed information refer to Kansas Statute
1999 Supp.40-2, 140 eta.seq. or consult with
your personal advisor.
A viatical settlement is a complex financial arrangement which may require
professional guidance. We suggest you find your own personal advisor
such as an accountant or tax attorney who will represent your interests.
