The client no longer required the coverage, and the cost of the policy was increasing significantly. The policy was trust-owned. The trustee saw a TV ad from a national settlement provider and called the provider directly to negotiate a maximum offer. After approximately one month of negotiation, the trustee received a maximum offer of $1,850,000 from the direct provider. Prior to executing the transaction, the client was referred to Treyled Life Settlements to get a second opinion. Treyled Life Settlements was then engaged to represent the seller. The opening offer received by Treyled Life Settlements was $2,700,000.

The client had premium financed an aggressively illustrated Indexed Universal Life policy, and the policy had not performed as projected. In connection with the premium financing, the client had provided a secured note to the lender for $2,411,000 that was due in the next 30 days, meaning the client was going to have to pay about $1 million out of pocket to the lender or risk losing a valuable income-producing family-owned property that was posted as the collateral. The client at that time could not afford the additional $1 million in cash required to repay the amount due under the note. Treyled Life Settlements was engaged to sell the contract and to help minimize the client’s out-of-pocket expense on unwinding the contract. After the TLS auction process, the client was not only able to repay the outstanding note in its entirety but also made a significant profit on the sale. The opening offer received was $2,200,000.

The client was in great health and did not want or need the coverage any longer. The client was simply planning on surrendering the contract for the $131,000 cash surrender value. The client's advisor informed her that there was a possibility to sell the contract for more than the surrender value. Treyled Life Settlements received an opening offer of $228,000.

The client’s term policy was about to expire, and the policy needed to be converted to permanent coverage or it would lapse with no value. The conversion premium was $98,000 per year, and the client did not wish to pay the increased cost. The case was “shopped” by another broker, and the maximum offer negotiated was $200,000. The client was referred to Treyled Life Settlements for another opinion. After completion of the TLS auction process, the client received more than double the maximum offer negotiated by the prior broker.
