Policy Types

Ohio's large senior population and major metropolitan areas — including Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati — provide a deep pool of life settlement candidates. These are commonly accepted market criteria, not state requirements. Not every policy qualifies for a life settlement. Eligibility and outcomes depend on policy characteristics, insured health, premiums, underwriting, and market conditions.

Why Ohio

Life Settlements Opportunity in Ohio

Ohio is the seventh most populous state with a large and established senior population concentrated in major metros like Columbus, Cleveland, and Cincinnati. The state's corporate sector has produced many executives and professionals who hold substantial life insurance policies. Since Ohio eliminated its estate tax in 2013, many of these policies no longer serve their original purpose, creating a robust life settlement market.

  • Seventh most populous state with over 2 million residents age 65+
  • No state estate tax since 2013 — reduces need for estate liquidity policies
  • Strong financial advisory community in major metro areas
  • High concentration of corporate executives and professionals with large policies
  • Mature regulatory environment provides confidence for all parties
