Written by

Gene Houchins

Start With a Quick Estimate

Begin by submitting your policy details through our free estimate tool. If you have a qualifying life insurance policy: including term, whole, FEGLI, universal, or group life insurance, and a serious medical diagnosis such as a terminal or chronic illness such as cancer, ALS or others, you may be eligible for a substantial cash payment, up to 70% of the policy’s face value!

Estimate Tool Requirements

  • Your age
  • The face value of your life insurance policy
  • Type of insurance (term, whole, FEGLI, etc.)
  • Health status and diagnosis (e.g., terminally ill like Stage 4 cancer or requiring nursing care)

After submitting your information, you’ll receive an instant estimate based on your policy’s face value, estimated life expectancy, and other qualifying factors. The viatical settlement proceeds are calculated quickly and confidentially. No obligations, just clarity.

Speak With a Financial Counselor

Once your estimate of up to 70% the face value of your policy is submitted, one of our financial counselors will contact you directly.

What You Can Expect

  • Clear explanation of the application process
  • Access to our short, 3-page initial application
  • A checklist of required documents (insurance contract, medical records, financial statements if relevant)

This conversation is about helping you understand your options without confusion. You maintain full ownership and beneficiary rights until the final viatical settlement contract is signed.

You won’t be shuffled between departments or asked to retell your story. Everything is handled in-house.

Application Review and Viatical Settlement Offer

After receiving your application, our underwriting team reviews:

  • Your life insurance policy details and death benefit
  • Your medical history and current health status
  • Policy loans, premiums paid, cash surrender value
  • All terms of your existing life insurance contract

If you’re eligible, we provide a formal written agreement outlining:

  • The lump-sum viatical settlement payment
  • Settlement contract provisions and expected timing
  • What happens if the insured dies during or after the contract period

Your viatical settlement proceeds are based on the policy’s face value, your expected life expectancy, and financial condition. Offers are fair, fast, and come with no pressure.

Because we don’t involve brokers or third-party investors, our clients avoid delays, fees, and conflicts of interest. Everything remains private and controlled by you.
