A Closer Look For Policyowners

Montage earns its place on this list through the cases other buyers will not take. Trust owned policies, split dollar arrangements, unusual ownership structures and messy premium histories all cause providers to walk away. Montage will look at them.

For a policyowner with a complicated file, that counts for more than a headline payout percentage. A high offer from a buyer that cannot actually close is worth nothing, and complicated cases fall apart at closing more often than clean ones do.

The limitation is the one shared by every provider. Montage buys for itself and its funding partners. It does not represent the seller, it is not a fiduciary to the seller, and it has no duty to disclose whether its offer is the best available. A licensed broker carries all three of those obligations.

Understanding The Market

Complexity is priced, and it is priced badly when only one buyer is looking. A policy held in an irrevocable trust with three beneficiaries takes more legal work to transfer than a policy owned outright by one person. Some buyers price that work in. Others simply decline.

A seller with a complicated file who calls a single provider and hears no often concludes the policy is worthless. Usually it is not. It just needs to reach the buyers who handle that kind of file, and finding them is the job a broker exists to do.
