Georgia issued Life Settlement Solutions’ viatical (life) settlement provider license Jan. 12, 2007. 

Life Settlement Solutions has done business in Georgia since 2003, prior to life-settlement transactions being regulated in that state.  The state expanded its viatical settlement laws to include life settlements, effective Nov. 5, 2005.   Prior to the enactment of the 2005 legislation, life-settlement companies were allowed to conduct business in the state without licensing requirements.  The new law provided for a transitional provision that permitted life-settlement providers previously conducting life settlements in the state to continue doing so while their license applications were pending, so long as the application was filed within 30 days following the effective date of the act.   Life Settlement Solutions’ application was filed within that 30–day period, so there has been no interruption with the firm’s ability to conduct business in Georgia.

“In addition to application materials, biographical submissions by officers, background checks and a review of Life Settlement Solutions’ plan of operations, Georgia also utilized a field-examination process under which it retained an independent examination firm that conducted a field audit of Life Settlement Solutions’ business practices and a review of closed case files,” said Larry Simon, president and founder of Life Settlement Solutions.  “Our unblemished regulatory and compliance track record speaks highly to our ability to obtain licensing in every life-settlement regulated state throughout the nation.  We are very pleased to be among the first life-settlement companies to be granted licensing in Georgia.”
