Buyers estimate a life insurance settlement’s value by starting with the policy’s future death benefit and subtracting the cost of keeping the policy active, including premium payments. They also consider the policyholder’s life expectancy and compare the future payout with what it is worth in today’s dollars. Because the payment date depends on life expectancy rather than a fixed date, health and age can strongly affect the offer.
