Company Overview
Settlers Life was domiciled in Virginia and licensed in 17 states. The company marketed its products principally in the states of Virginia, North Carolina, and Tennessee. The principal products of Settlers Life were pre-need life and final expense life. The company also wrote small blocks of cancer and other A&H insurance.

On May 14, 1999, the company was ordered into rehabilitation. On September 1, 1999, the Deputy Receiver of Settlers Life entered into a letter of intent with National Guardian Life Insurance Company. Accordingly, Settlers Life has been rehabilitated (without support by guaranty associations) and will continue operations as a subsidiary of National Guardian Life.
