A LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER
Dear P
olicy 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 Consumer Guide to Understanding Life Settlements
issued by the Kentucky Department of Insurance 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,
John M. W

Defining the Terms
A life settlement (which includes viatical settlements) occurs when a person sells his or her life in-
surance policy to a third party. The owner of the insurance policy sells the policy for a cash payment
that is less than the full amount of the death benefit.
A life settlement provider is the person or company who buys the life insurance policy. The life
settlement provider becomes the new owner and has control over the policy including naming a ben-
eficiary.
The life settlement contract is the agreement in which the life settlement provider agrees to pur-
chase all or a portion of the life insurance policy and the owner agrees to sell all or a portion of the
life insurance policy.
The life settlement broker can assist an owner of a life insurance policy in searching for the right
life settlement provider to purchase the policy. The life settlement broker then will receive a commis-
sion for helping with the sale. The life settlement broker has a legal obligation to find the best deal for
the owner of the life insurance policy.
The person selling the life insurance policy is the owner of the life insurance policy. The owner will
receive a settlement payment for the sale of the policy, which will be an amount that is less than the
face amount of the life insurance policy.
Understanding Life Settlements
A viatical settlement is the sale of a life insurance policy to a third party. The owner of the life in-
surance policy sells it for a payment that is less than the full amount of the death benefit. The buyer
becomes the new owner and has the right to make any changes to the life insurance policy including
naming the beneficiary.
People decide to sell their life insurance policies for many reasons. Some of those
reasons may be changing needs of dependents, wanting to reduce insurance pre-
miums or needing to raise cash for expenses. People with a terminal or chronic
illness may want to sell their policy in order to pay medical bills. Before making
the decision to sell a life insurance policy, always check for alternatives. There
may be an option in the life insurance policy to accelerate death benefits.
A life settlement may or may not be the right choice for you. The Kentucky Department of Insurance,
along with the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC), is concerned that many
consumers may not fully understand life settlements. In addition, some or all of the proceeds of a life
settlement may be taxable, and receipt of life settlement proceeds may affect your eligibility for Med-
icaid or other government benefits. Please be sure to check with a financial professional before making
any decision.
Be sure you fully
understand life
settlements before
you make any
decisions.
Consumer Tips
Understand how the process works and read all documents care-
fully.
Decide whether to sell your policy directly to a life settlement pro-
vider or go through a life settlement broker who will do the com-
parison shopping for you.
If you do not use a life settlement broker, comparison shop on your
own.
You do not have to accept any life settlement offer.
Be sure to read through the life settlement application for accuracy,
especially information about your medical history.
Understand that you have the ability to cancel the contract within
the first 30 days after you have signed a contract or 15 days after
you have received the settlement money.
Understand that buyers will have access to your medical informa-
tion and they have the right to contact you as often as every 3
months to discuss any changes in your medical information.
Additional Questions to Consider
Do I still need life insurance protection?
How does the life settlement provider decide how much cash my policy is worth?
Do different life settlement providers make different offers?
What costs including commissions will I have to pay if I sell my policy?
Are the life settlement provider and/or broker licensed in Kentucky?
Who will become the legal owner of the policy if I sell it?
How often will I be contacted to determine my continuing health condition?
After I sell my policy, can it be resold?
Will I always know who owns the policy?
Steps in the Life Settlement Process
A written statement from a licensed attending physician that you are of sound mind to sell your
policy.
Sign a contract in which you:
consent to the life settlement contract
verify any catastrophic or life threatening illness was diagnosed after the policy was issued
confirm that you fully understand the life settlement contract
release your medical records
acknowledge that you entered into the life settlement contract freely and voluntarily

buy a life settlement
contract;
interested in selling
your life insurance
policy and want more
information; or

Explore All Your Options: A Checklist
Before you enter into any life settlement transaction, you should:
Contact your life insurer to learn about all of your possible options under your policy, such as
accelerated benefits. It could pay you a substantial portion of your policy’s death benefit without
selling your policy to a third party. Also ask if there is any cash value in your policy. You may be
able to use some of the cash value to meet your immediate needs and keep your policy in force for
your beneficiaries. You also may be able to use the cash value as security for a loan from a financial
institution.
Contact a licensed life settlement broker or licensed life settlement provider for information about
life settlements.
Consult with your own financial adviser who knows your personal financial needs. Be sure to ask
about tax and other financial consequences if you sell your policy. Contact a professional tax ad-
viser to find out the tax implications. Proceeds are only tax-free under certain circumstances.
Contact the Kentucky Department of Insurance at 800-595-6053 for information about current
laws that may protect you.
Other Things to Consider
Know that your creditors could claim the proceeds.
Find out if you will lose any Medicaid benefits.
Find out if you will lose any public assistance benefits.
Know that you must provide certain medical and personal information to third parties who will
receive the proceeds from your policy upon your death. These third parties may sell your policy
and pass along your medical and personal information to other individuals.
