Life Settlement Association Expands Membership Benefits to Producers and Consumer Advisors With New Category
ORLANDO, FL- Marketwired - Jun 25, 2014 - Acting to expand its membership, the Life Insurance Settlement Association (LISA) is welcoming producers and advisors under a new membership category designed to help them expand access to resources in the life settlement market and benefit from the influence, activities and services LISA and its members represent.
Millions of Baby Boomers hold hundreds of billions of dollars of life insurance that could become life settlements. After years of premium payments, many seniors often experience unexpected changes that alter their priorities regarding life insurance. "When these changes occur, advisors should understand the options available for clients' life insurance policies that are no longer needed, wanted or affordable, including a life settlement," stated Darwin Bayston, LISA President and CEO. The expanded membership category offers education tools and resources to advisors in a broad array of areas to include professional networking, legal compliance, legislation and regulation, industry news, and more.
The life settlement industry is experiencing growing interest within the financial advising sector, among policy makers and the press. Addressing these needs, this category also assures consumers that they are working with an advisor who is dedicated to professional and personal development, endorses best practices and is dedicated to the highest level of ethics and professional conduct.
To continue to create greater awareness and education about life settlements to consumers' advisors, the Association is hosting for the first time an exclusive advisor track at its 20th Fall Conference at the Omni Scottsdale Resort & Spa at Montelucia on October 7th, 2014. Attendees will be eligible for up to 6 CFP Continuing Education credits.
The advisor track includes the following valuable education sessions:
•Life Settlements: Your Client's Unknown Asset
•Life Settlements and Retirement Planning
•How Do Life Settlements Compare with Reverse Mortgages and Other Products?
