Magna Featured on Lifetime’s Designing Spaces
Designing Spaces on Lifetime Television featured Magna Life Settlements in November! During the episode, an older couple explored the process of a life settlement, the advantages of pursuing a sale of a life insurance policy and the various ways the cash from a settlement can meet the family’s needs during their retirement years. Clay Gibson, Magna’s senior vice president for origination, shared how families can benefit from life settlements.
The Joels, who were featured on the episode, are a retired couple looking to make their golden years golden. Mr. Joel started buying life insurance shortly after the couple got married, but the premiums became too expensive and he was considering either selling or surrendering the policy.
When their daughter Donna Eichner comes over to discuss the possibility, the Joels explain the possible benefits of selling a life insurance policy. Taking a life settlement would allow them to have additional funds for their retirement years. Mrs. Joel speculates on the ways they could use the extra money generated by a life settlement, including travel plans an donating to charity.
Clay Gibson explained, “Life insurance is actually property, and it’s property that can be sold. Half a million insureds are lapsing their policy every year, and that’s half a million insureds that could have come to Magna Life Settlements and received an offer above and beyond what the insurance carrier would have paid them for their policy.”
Mr. Joel enters his information into Magna’s life settlement calculator, and after viewing the results the Joels and their daughter conclude that a settlement is the wisest choice for their family. Their daughter, Donna, said, “I know myself and siblings are well taken care of, and now my parents can do what they want to do.” For the Joels, a life settlement will take an insurance policy that had become burdensome and convert it into a financial asset.
