The life settlement market is far from infancy and unfortunately life settlement scams do exist. The life settlement industry in the United States has entered its third decade and is a recognized market. Regulators know the life settlement business exists and have been involved to protect the consumer who is the individual looking to sell their unwanted life insurance to a third party investor. Consumers who sell their life insurance typically do it for one of two reasons either they no longer need the protection or they can no longer afford the premiums. In the industry’s first decade most life settlement scams affected the consumer selling their policy. Basically the end result was the consumer selling their unwanted life insurance policy received lowest percent of the selling price while the life settlement brokers made more. Today life settlement scams affect the life settlement broker, because funding companies and life settlement companies are in a position to eliminate the broker from the transaction process.
