Life settlements are transforming the financial landscape for retirees, offering a strategic option to unlock hidden value from life insurance policies that might otherwise lapse. 

Yet, many policyholders remain unaware of this powerful alternative—or hesitant about taking the leap. If you’re looking for ways to turn an underperforming policy into a valuable asset, this insight could change everything.

In this episode, hosts Mark Mrky and Rob Haynie chat with Elan Moas — former subprime mortgage underwriter, financial advisor, and author of “Laps: The Universal Life Insurance Whistleblower” — to reveal why universal life (UL) policies often fall short and how life settlements provide a lucrative exit.
