Massachusetts FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Are life settlements legal in Massachusetts?

Yes, life settlements are legal and thoroughly regulated in Massachusetts under M.G.L. c. 175 §§212-228. The Massachusetts Division of Insurance licenses all brokers and providers and enforces strict consumer protection standards.

Why is Massachusetts considered a top life settlement market?

Massachusetts combines a large senior population (1.1M+ aged 65+), high average household wealth, above-average insurance coverage amounts, and a sophisticated financial advisory community — all factors that drive strong settlement activity and competitive pricing.

What protections do Massachusetts policyholders have in a life settlement?

Massachusetts provides a 15-day rescission period, requires full disclosure of all offers and fees, mandates broker licensing, enforces anti-fraud provisions, and requires independent verification that the policyholder understands and consents to the transaction.

How do life settlements fit into retirement planning in Massachusetts?

Life settlements can be a valuable part of retirement planning in Massachusetts, where the high cost of living makes every asset important. Settling an unneeded policy can provide funds for healthcare, housing, travel, or legacy planning without the ongoing burden of premium payments.

What types of life insurance policies are most commonly settled in Massachusetts?

Universal life policies are most commonly settled due to rising cost-of-insurance charges, followed by whole life policies no longer needed for estate planning. Convertible term policies also qualify if converted before expiration. Higher face values generally attract more competitive offers.
