New York City is the financial capital of the world—yet even here, life settlement policyholders often face stacked odds. Many buyers operate multiple life settlement “marketing companies,” creating the illusion of choice while funneling sellers into a single lowball offer. Add in high-pressure tactics—“expiring” offers, relentless phone calls, and distressing emails—and the process quickly becomes overwhelming.
Windsor changes that. As an independent life settlement broker, we represent you—not the buyers. Our team handles the countless hours of underwriting, negotiation, and coordination that this complex process requires. By introducing your policy to a network of institutional investors, Windsor creates real competition. The result: stronger offers and a better life settlement experience for New York City policyholders.
Across Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, the Bronx, and Staten Island, Windsor is trusted for independence, expertise, and results:
Stronger Offers Through Competition – Multiple buyers bidding on your policy drives payouts higher than direct sales.
Full-Service Dedication – We take on the hours, stress, and manpower it takes to secure the best outcome.
No Pressure Tactics – No “expiring” deadlines, no harassing calls, no email bombardment.
Proven Expertise – With over 16 years in the industry, Windsor brings clarity and results to every settlement.
New York has some of the nation’s most protective life settlement laws, ensuring transparency and fairness for policyholders:
Rescission Rights – Cancel a settlement within 15 days of receiving proceeds or 30 days of contract execution, whichever is sooner, by returning the funds.
👉 N.Y. Ins. Law §7810(d)
Escrow & Prompt Payment – Proceeds must be deposited with an independent escrow agent and released to you within 3 business days of insurer confirmation.
👉 N.Y. Ins. Law §7810(e)
Comprehensive Disclosures – Brokers must disclose alternatives (policy loans, accelerated benefits), potential tax impacts, effects on government benefits, rescission rights, compensation, and insurer contact details.
👉 N.Y. Ins. Law §7810(a)
Privacy & Contact Limits – Providers may only check in on an insured’s health quarterly (if life expectancy >1 year) or monthly (if ≤1 year). All personal information must remain confidential.
👉 N.Y. Ins. Law §7810(c)
Strict Licensing & Oversight – Brokers and providers must be licensed by the NY Department of Financial Services, which enforces compliance with civil penalties and license revocation authority.
👉 N.Y. Ins. Law §7803
