WHAT
IS VIATICATION?
Viatication is the process through which a
person living with a terminal illness can receive
a cash payment from the face value of their
insurance policy.
WHO
IS ELIGIBLE FOR A
VIATICAL SETTLEMENT?
Generally, to be eligible for a viatical settlement
you must have a documentable terminal illness,
and life insurance coverage in either an
individual term, whole life, or a group policy.
HOW
MUCH IS MY
POLICY WORTH?
The value of your life insurance policy in a
viatical settlement is determined by the specifics
of your policy and your unique medical
situation. Not every policy is suitable for
viatication, but settlement offers typically range
from 60% to 90% of a policy's face value,
depending on the specifics of your policy and
medical history.
HOW
DOES A
SETTLEMENT WORK?
With your written permission, we gather
medical and insurance records with which to
determine your policy's value. Then, a
settlement offer is presented to you. You may
always decline the offer with no obligation
whatsoever. Should you accept the offer,
payment is made directly to you. You pay
nothing else on your policy, and you owe us
nothing.
IS
VIATICATING
MY POLICY THE
RIGHT CHOICE FOR ME?
Many factors influence whether viaticating your
life insurance policy is the best financial
alternative available to you. Southwest Viatical
can discuss all of the factors with you and your
family in person, in detail, and can recommend
an experienced Certified Financial Planner to
assist you in planning the best outcome from
your unique financial situation.
HOW IS
SOUTHWEST VIATICAL
DIFFERENT?
Today, many companies offer viatical
settlements, doing business only by bulk
advertising and 1-800 numbers. They transfer
your insurance and medical records by mail,
and do business from another state.
At Southwest Viatical, we believe you should be
assured of complete confidentiality and the best
possible service by working with us in person,
face-to-face. We are involved on a community
level, and are responsible directly to our local
community.
By working with you in person, but at the same
time having access to nationwide, financial
resources, we are able to deliver the best value
on your policy available today. And because of
our established resources, we can deliver a
settlement in less than a third of the time other
companies take by mail, typically, in less than 30
days.
We'll do that it takes to find the best solution for
you.
