About this episode

Matt Feret discusses life settlements and the value of life insurance policies with expert Rob Haynie.

In this episode of The Matt Feret Show , Matt sits down with life settlement expert Rob Haynie to explore a little-known financial option many families overlook: selling a life insurance policy. The conversation explains how life settlements work, why life insurance can be treated as a valuable asset in retirement planning, and how policy owners may receive more than the cash surrender value instead of letting coverage lapse. With a focus on education rather than sales, this episode breaks down consumer protections, common misconceptions, and how understanding all available options can help individuals and families make smarter decisions about insurance, retirement income, and long-term financial planning.
