client-centric advisors pre-qualify with lifepass™
DESCRIPTION
A Life Settlement is the sale of an in-force life insurance policy that is either unneeded, unwanted or underperforming. By performing an annual policy review, advisors fulfill a commitment to provide exceptional service to their client and identify alternative funding solutions that address the current needs of their client. After the sale of a life insurance policy, the proceeds can be used to fund products and services associated with long-term care. In addition, the insured is no longer responsible for premium payments. Get your clients pre-qualified for a life settlement today with LifePASS™.TRANSCRIPT
