QHow Does a

Life Settlement

Work?

Page 5: Selling Your Life Insurance Policy FAQ

How it WorksThe insured or the contract owner, if different than the insured, submits an application to AFC. We then obtain

an in-force illustration of the policy from the insurer showing the face amount and any outstanding loans or

premiums due, as well as medical records from the insured’s physicians. After determining whether the

insured meets the necessary criteria, an offer is made. If accepted, the Life Settlement transaction is documented and proceeds to closing. The policy’s seller has the right to rescind the transaction within 15 days of the receipt

funds so long as the purchase price and premium paid by AFC are returned prior to the end of the rescission

period. Learn more.
