Course Description

What comes to mind when someone mentions life settlements? Is it good for your client? How do you know? Should you/can you, as a CPA, take an active role? Life insurance policy owners are lapsing their policies at an alarming rate. Your clients, especially senior clients, are getting bombarded with direct marketing by life settlement buyers who seek to capitalize on your clients’ lack of knowledge about life insurance fair market value. Direct marketing circumvents CPAs and leaves vulnerable policy owners without representation resulting in grossly undervalued offers.

Learning Objectives

  • Recognize why there has been a substantial increase in clients lapsing life insurance.

  • Understand the secondary market for life insurance (life settlements) and how to explain this option to your clients.

  • Discover how to uncover life settlement opportunities for your clients and protect their best interests.

  • Safeguard your reputation as “the most trusted advisor” by following the best practices that assure independent representation.

  • Bring to light how to grow your business by adding life insurance policy appraisals to your holistic planning process.
