Rated #1 Best Life Settlement Company of 2022

Abacus is our best overall company because of its straightforward and easy process, combined with its great customer reviews.” – The Balance

What is a Life Settlement?

By definition, a life settlement is the sale of a life insurance policy facilitated by a licensed provider like Abacus, in exchange for a lump-sum cash payment. 

The value of a settlement is always higher than the policy’s surrender value, and clients often receive 4-6x more than what they would through surrendering their policy directly back to their life insurance carrier. 

The Abacus Learning Center is an excellent resource for a deeper dive into what a life settlement entails, along with more information about the entire process. Feel free to view case studies based on past clients, a detailed history of the industry, and specifics of life settlement taxation. If you have any questions that were not addressed in the Learning Center, or would like to get started on your life settlement, please reach out to us at 800-561-4148.
