A LETTER FROM THE FOUNDER
Dea
r 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 Loans – if 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 issued by the Maryland Insurance
Administration titled, “Viatical Settlements – A Guide to Selling Your Life Insurance 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,
John
M. Welcom
Founder & CEO

Selling Your Policy
If you decide to sell your life insurance policy, you
should be aware that Maryland law requires your
viatical settlement broker to take certain steps in every
transaction. The broker should:
1. Give you a written description of the services that
are required on your behalf by state law
2. Disclose all offers, counter-offers, acceptances and
rejections relating to the sale of your policy within
72 hours of their receipt
3. Explain in writing within 72 hours before a viatical
settlement contract is signed by all parties, the
amount of the broker’s compensation and how it
is calculated; and
4. Make other disclosures regarding your legal rights
in a viatical settlement.
If you believe your viatical settlement broker did not
make a required disclosure or did not perform a legally
required service, you may file a complaint with the
Maryland Insurance Administration against the broker.
For information on filing a complaint, you may call
or write the Insurance Administration or visit our
website: www.mdinsurance.state.md.us

Consider Your Options
If you’re selling your policy to obtain cash to pay
expenses, check all of your options. You may find a
way to receive more cash from your life insurance
policy.
1. Ask your insurance agent or company if you
have any cash value in your life insurance 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 may
also be able to use the cash value as security for a
loan from a financial institution.
2. Find out whether your life insurance policy has
an accelerated death benefit. An accelerated death
benefit typically pays some of the policy’s death
benefit before the insured dies. It may be a way
for you to get cash from a policy without selling
it to a third party.
Consumer Tips
• Comparisonshop.Getquotesfromseveral
potential buyers to make sure you have a
competitive offer.
• Findoutthetaximplications.Notallproceeds
from the sale of your life insurance policy are
tax-free.
• It’simportanttoknowthatanyofyourcreditors
could make a claim against your cash settlement.
• Findoutwhetheryouwillloseeligibilityfor
public assistance benefits such as food stamps or
Medicaid if you receive a cash settlement.
• Thebuyerofyourpolicymayperiodicallyask
you about your health status. The buyer is
required to give you a privacy notice outlining
who will get this personal information. Be sure
to read it.
Understanding Viatical Settlements
The Maryland Insurance Administration and the
NationalAssociationofInsuranceCommissioners
want you to have the facts before you sell your life
insurance policy. This brochure provides some of
that information, but it is only a starting point.
Consult your own professional financial advisor,
attorney, or accountant to help you understand
your rights in the transaction, possible consequences
and alternative solutions that may better serve your
personal situation.
What is a Viatical Settlement?
A viatical settlement is a written agreement for the
sale of a life insurance policy to a third party. The
owner or certificate holder of the life insurance policy
(the viator) sells the policy for an immediate cash
benefit.
At one time, most viatical settlements were for people
withalife-threateningillness.Now,individuals
who are not facing a health crisis may sell their life
insurance policies to obtain cash.
A viatical settlement broker is the person or company
that, for a fee, commission or other consideration,
arranges the sale of your life insurance policy.
In Maryland, a viatical settlement broker represents
only the viator and has a duty to act in the viator’s
best interest. Viatical settlement brokers must be
both licensed to sell life insurance in Maryland and
specifically registered with the Maryland Insurance
Commissioner to conduct viatical settlements.
The viatical settlement provider is the buyer and
becomes the new owner of the life insurance policy,
pays future premiums, and collects the death
benefit when the insured dies. Viatical settlement
providers must be registered with the State Insurance
Commissioner.
