Life insurance valuation refers to determining the fair market value of a life insurance policy, often required for estate planning, financial reporting, divorce proceedings, or gift tax considerations. In the USA, this process involves analyzing the policy’s death benefit, premiums, cash surrender value, and the insured’s health status and life expectancy. Valuations may differ based on the policy type—term, whole, or universal life insurance—and the purpose of the assessment. Accurate life insurance valuation ensures compliance with legal and tax obligations and can influence financial decisions involving asset distribution or settlements. Professional appraisal methods are often used to determine an objective value.
