Abacus Life Settlements is Now Licensed to Purchase Policies in West Virginia
ORLANDO, Fla., May 7, 2018 (Newswire.com) - Abacus Life Settlements, the premier life settlement provider in the secondary market for life insurance, announced today that it was granted a life settlement provider license by the West Virginia Offices of the Insurance Commissioner. Abacus Settlements is now licensed to purchase life insurance policies in 40 states, as noted on the company's web page at www.abacuslifesettlements.com/licensure.
"Abacus Life Settlements looks forward to expanding its secondary market services to the close to 2 million residents in the state of West Virginia, 18% percent of whom are seniors 65 or older," said Sean McNealy, Managing Partner of Abacus. "We encourage West Virginia policy sellers to visit our Life Settlement Learning Center and to use our online pre-qualification and pricing tools.
West Virginian's will now have access to Abacus Express, a program that cuts the settlement process from months to weeks or days.

As the state with the third highest percentage of seniors, West Virginia's licensure process for viatical and life settlement providers is considered one of the most rigorous in the nation. Abacus is honored to be among the few providers who are approved by West Virginia's Offices of the Insurance Commissioner to work with policy owners residing in the state.
West Virginian's will now have access to Abacus Express, a program exclusive to Abacus clients and select business partners that cuts the traditional life settlement timeline of several months down to only a few weeks, or sometimes days.
Abacus believes the recent resurgence of the secondary market for life insurance provides senior consumers with a valuable funding source for alternative income-producing investments. For aging baby boomers who may be financially ill-prepared for their own longevity, life settlements can be a source of funds to help pay for medical and long-term care expenses.
Abacus officials expressed optimism that the industry's robust growth trajectory will remain strong as more seniors choose to optimize their insurance assets, and as institutional investors capture yield while insulating investment portfolios from stock market volatility.
