Settlement scenarios may include:
- The insured is facing a serious illness.
- The insured's health changes.
- The estate or tax law changes.
- There are changing personal circumstances, such as divorce or retirement.
- There are changing business circumstances, such as the sale or purchase of a business, bankruptcy, or a decreased need for a key-person policy.
