Can I Sell My Life Insurance Policy in Wisconsin?
Wisconsin's manufacturing heritage — with major employers like Harley-Davidson, SC Johnson, and Kohler — has produced a generation of retirees with substantial employer-provided and individually purchased life insurance coverage. Milwaukee's financial services sector and Madison's university-affiliated retirees contribute additional policy volume. The state's Office of the Commissioner of Insurance follows NAIC model standards, creating a well-regulated environment that attracts institutional buyers.
Wisconsin's adherence to NAIC model life settlement standards makes it straightforward for multi-state buyers to operate, often increasing competition for WI-issued policies. The state's manufacturing and corporate base produces policies with steady premium histories, which buyers value for underwriting purposes.
