A scary statistic: 500,000 insurance policies that may qualify for a life settlement lapse annually! That is 500,000 reasons you should join this think-outside-the-box session on life settlements, a topic that has been taboo in the past, but that is no longer the case! Remember: LIFE INSURANCE IS AN ASSET. When a life insurance policy no longer fits a client’s needs due to reasons including divorce, sale of a business, no longer want to pay premiums, health changes, etc., most agents don’t go beyond option 1: let the policy lapse, or option 2: surrender it for the cash value. But your clients want to know about option 3! According to ISI Institute, 90% of seniors who let their policy lapse would have considered a life settlement had they known of the possibility. So come join this session and learn from Dan Zeplain, who will share how it’s done.

Key Takeaways:

  • Learn how life settlements can offer long-term solutions and needed liquidity
  • Get a transparent overview of the life settlement process
  • Provide an innovative, under-utilized solution to your clients that will set you apart from your competition
  • Get up to speed on the regulations so you can compliantly help your clients and grow your business
  • Fun fact: Dan has worked to settle policies with a total face amount of $67.3 million and a return of $22.1 million to the policyowner – in just the past 6 months
