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

Ohio FAQs

Frequently Asked Questions

Are life settlements legal in Ohio?

Yes. Ohio has comprehensive life settlement legislation under the Ohio Life Settlement Act (Ohio Rev. Code § 3916). All providers and brokers must be licensed by the Ohio Department of Insurance.

What is the rescission period in Ohio?

Ohio provides a 15-day rescission period after contract execution, during which the policyowner can cancel the transaction without penalty and receive a full refund of any consideration paid.

How does Ohio's elimination of the estate tax affect life settlements?

Since Ohio repealed its estate tax in 2013, many residents who purchased life insurance for estate tax liquidity no longer need those policies. This makes them strong candidates for life settlements, often receiving 4-8x the cash surrender value.

Can Ohio business owners use life settlements for succession planning?

Yes. Business owners who held key-person or buy-sell life insurance policies that are no longer needed due to retirement or business changes can often sell these policies through a life settlement for significantly more than the surrender value.

How long does a life settlement take in Ohio?

Most Ohio life settlement cases close within 60–120 days. The timeline depends on medical record access, carrier cooperation, and institutional buyer due diligence processes.
