Why Sell?

The economic environment and financial needs of consumers are changing at an ever increasing rate. People are living longer and the cost of living continues to go up. As a result, insurance policy owners and their financial advisors are taking an increasingly creative approach to meeting those financial needs. The life insurance settlement market emerged as financial professionals and policy owners began demanding that more options be available for owners looking to surrender or cancel their life insurance policies. Life settlements have become a vital component of senior financial planning as policy owners turn to life settlement brokers to increase their liquid capital base. IMS Associates is an experienced life settlement broker that can guide you through that process and ensure the maximum value of every life settlement payout.

  • Changing estate planning needs

  • Buy-sell agreements, where the owners have retired or the business has been sold
