Life settlement vs surrender value - should I sell my old life insurance policy?

80

I have a whole life policy from 1992 with $45k cash surrender value. A life settlement company offered me $78k if I sell the policy to them. I no longer need the death benefit (kids are grown). Is a life settlement legitimate? What are the tax implications?
