SAN DIEGO – June 1, 2007 –
As insurance agents face the challenge of offering suitable financial-planning tools for their clients, a lack of knowledge on one particular strategy – life
settlements – often stands in their way.
Beginning today, Life Settlement Solutions, Inc. – the creator and host of Life Settlement Awareness Month™ – will offer several educational events
led by experienced professionals in the life-settlement industry, providing insight for agents looking to serve the financial-planning needs of long-term, senior clients.
“An industry survey conducted last year shows that 88 percent of insurance agents would discuss life settlements with
their clients if they had the knowledge to do so (see Agent Media Market Research, Agent's Sales Journal, "2007 Life Settlement
Study," March 2007),” said Larry Simon, president and CEO of Life Settlement Solutions. “Life Settlement
Awareness Month provides the means for agents to become a part of this ever-growing industry.” Today at 10:30 a.m.
PST and June 26 at 10:30 a.m. PST, a life settlements fundamentals webinar will cover several educational topics, including
an overview of the life-settlement industry, how to select a life-settlement provider or broker, and the current state
of life-settlement regulation.
On June 5 at 10:30 a.m. PST and June 28 at 10:30 a.m. PST, an advanced strategies in life settlements webinar will cover case studies, the transaction process, industry trends
and regulation, and advanced planning strategies.
Throughout June, a series of webinars will be held for professionals of all experience levels – from a fundamentals course, to an advanced strategies course, to an
interactive panel with key industry figures. The webinars are free-of-charge.
Brian Casey of Lord, Bissell & Brook LLP, Steve Walker of 21st Services, and Roscoe Smith of Agent Media Corp., who are experienced professionals in the life-settlement
industry, will also present at a free-of-charge webcast on June 19 at 10:30 a.m. PST.

Then, dial into the audio portion by calling 303/785-9861. When prompted by the operator, enter conference identification number 8334152.
As part of Life Settlement Awareness Month, Life Settlement Solutions will also offer one of the first certified continuing-education courses on life settlements,
covering fundamental and advanced topics. An up-to-date map of states in which the course has been approved, as well as details regarding signing up for the
course, can be found on the Life Settlement Awareness Month Web site.
Today also marks the launch of Life Settlement Solutions’ proposed seven-step strategy to boost
summer sales activities, a traditionally slow time for insurance sales, for agents and brokers working with clients eligible for life settlements.
