Core offering

Windsor Life Settlements is an independent life settlement brokerage that represents individual policyholders in selling their life insurance policies for more than the cash surrender value. The firm submits each qualifying policy to a network of 30+ licensed life settlement companies, private buyers, and investment funds to generate competitive offers, then guides the policyholder through review, underwriting, and closing. Core offerings include Life Settlements for seniors with unwanted coverage and Viatical Settlements for individuals with terminal or chronic illness, supported by free policy reviews and online valuation calculators.

Product overview

Windsor Life Settlements operates as an independent life settlement broker offering two core products: Life Settlements for policyholders age 75+ or those with health changes, and Viatical Settlements for individuals with terminal or chronic illness. The company does not purchase policies directly but instead represents policyholders, introducing their policies to a network of 30+ licensed institutional buyers, private buyers, and funds to create competitive bidding. Supporting these core offerings are specialized tools including a standard Settlement Calculator (operating since 2012), a Term Policy Settlement Calculator (launched May 2026), and a Viatical Settlement Calculator. The company's business model centers on broker services that coordinate policy review, medical underwriting, buyer solicitation, and closing management to maximize policyholder payouts.

Functional benefit

Products and services

• Life Settlements Brokerage service that enables policyholders (typically over age 75 or with changed health) to sell an existing life insurance policy to a licensed third-party buyer for a lump-sum payment greater than the policy's cash surrender value and less than its death benefit. Windsor represents the policyholder and submits the policy to 30+ institutional buyers for competitive bidding.
• Viatical Settlements Brokerage service for individuals with terminal illness (life expectancy of 24 months or less) or chronic illness requiring long-term care to sell their life insurance policy to a licensed buyer for an immediate cash payment, typically returning 50%-80% of the policy's face value. Windsor handles intake, medical underwriting coordination, buyer solicitation, and closing.

Quantifiable outcome

• Settlement payouts typically fall between 10% and 60% of the policy's death benefit - far more than most surrender values offered by insurance companies.
