A Life Insurance policy headed for $0… Turned Into $2.35M
Many life insurance policies no longer serve the purpose they were originally designed for—but too often, they’re surrendered or allowed to lapse without a secondary-market review.
Here’s a recent case that highlights why a review matters:
Policy Overview:
$7.5M GUL
Insured: 79-Year-Old Male (Healthy)
Carrier: AIG
Policy Type: Guaranteed Universal Life
Purpose: Estate Planning (No Longer Needed)
The Situation
Premium to age 105: ~$200,000/year
Cash value had been used to pay the premium and left near $0
Client no longer needed the coverage
Final Result:
Settlement Offer: $2,350,000
