Life Settlement University announces fall schedule
August 14, 2007 (PRLEAP.COM) Business News
Atlanta – Life Settlement University (LSU) has posted its Fall 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 those with terminal illness or seniors 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 Estate Planning, 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 Fall Schedule. To sign up for a class, visit the Register page of www.LifeSettlementUniversity.com.
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.
“Internationally, settlements are gaining increased exposure as an estate- and financial planning vehicle for high-net-worth individuals,” Freeman says, “and it’s important that we work with insurance and financial professionals and others to ensure they present the life settlement option to any and all clients who might benefit.”
He says courses in the previous term at Life Settlement University attracted accountants, attorneys, insurance company employees, legislators, regulators and others. “There is a wide range of people who want and need to know more about this burgeoning, relatively young industry, and we make it easy for them,” Freeman says.
Classes will be added to the schedule periodically.
