Are you seriously thinking of selling your life insurance policy by signing senior life settlements? If so, one of the first things you need to do is to take precautionary steps. Today, the highly growing life settlement industry also attracts a number of fraudsters into it.

For the very reason mentioned above let’s find out some of the common types of fraud and then see how we can prevent becoming their subsequent victims.

The most common of senior life settlements frauds are the so-called “Stranger Originated Life Insurance (STOLI)” and “Premium financing” when the senior policy owner becomes the target of a dishonest investor.

Another case may serve the broker hired by the senior client to make the best deal, but who’s secretly cooperating with the insurance company and makes the transaction process less competitive, which reduces the policy owner’s profit from the transaction.

To insure yourself from fraud, you should first of all understand the matter yourself. I don’t mean that you should become proficient (though you’re welcome, if you like).  Learn basic rules and laws regarding senior life settlements.

The next thing I’d advise you to do is to consult an attorney who specializes in this sphere. And if you decide to hire a broker, choose a highly qualified one, preferably a broker company with testimonials.

Good luck!
