Winter schedule for Life Settlement University

Atlanta – December 11, 2007 - Life Settlement University (LSU) has posted its Winter class schedule, including courses designed for life settlement novices and those seeking advanced training in the subject. Life Settlement University (www.LifeSettlementUniversity.com) is designed to educate insurance and financial professionals from insurance agents and insurance company home office employees to regulators, attorneys, accountants and legislators about the relatively young secondary market for life insurance. Life settlements enable seniors or those with terminal illness who no longer want or need their life insurance to receive an advance cash payment for their policy.

Courses, from Life Settlements 101 to Advanced Uses of Life Settlements in the Business Market are open to insurance and financial professionals and their support staffs, and anyone else who needs to better understand the life settlement option. Six classes, all of which are held in Atlanta, are on the Winter schedule. To sign up for a class, visit the Register page of www.LifeSettlementUniversity.com.

“Among other things, our students have told us that they learned of life settlements from a client or colleague and knew they then needed to learn more about settlements,” says M. Bryan Freeman, a life settlement industry pioneer who is the founder of LSU. “Once they do learn more about settlements they can keep that as hip-pocket information ‘just in case,’ or they may choose to then make settlements an active part of their practices. Either way, I think savvy agents know they need to know more about life settlements. I would even posit that they have a fiduciary duty to do so.”

Previous terms at Life Settlement University have also attracted accountants, attorneys, insurance company employees, legislators, regulators and others.

LSU was founded by M. Bryan Freeman, a life settlement industry leader and founder of Atlanta-based Habersham Funding, LLC. Freeman served an unprecedented four terms as president of the Life Insurance Settlement Association, and remains on that national trade group’s board as vice president of government relations. Last year he was recognized with resolutions from both houses of the Georgia Legislature for his settlement industry leadership.
