5. There may be possible alternatives to selling your life insurance.
This may include the option of an accelerated death benefit or

rescinded, subject to repayment of all settlement proceeds and
any premiums, loans and loan interest to the life settlement
provider or purchaser.
7. Funds will be sent to you within three (3) business days after the
life settlement provider has received the insurer or group

the

referring advisor/broker, if any, has no access to or control over
life settlement provider funds that are set aside in escrow or trust.
8. Entering into a life settlement contract may 1) cause other rights
or benefits, including conversion rights and waiver of premium

group life insurance policy to be forfeited; and 2) reduce the
insured’s ability to obtain additional life insurance coverage in the
future. Assistance should be sought from a financial advisor.

by a life settlement provider or producer about the insured, including
the insured’s identity or the identity of family members, a spouse or
significant other may be disclosed as necessary to effect the life
settlement between you and the life settlement provider. If you are
