After being very quiet since the financial crisis of 2008, the life settlement market is once again attracting capital and is a viable option for in-force life insurance policies on insureds ages 75 and above which are no longer needed, wanted or affordable. The landscape, however, is substantially altered. The secondary market is now regulated in nearly all major states, including New York, and the process of evaluating policies, obtaining viable offers and getting cases closed requires a good understanding of the realities of the marketplace.
