Life Settlement Consumer Disclosure-NCOIL Holds the Line

In recent years, life settlement business transactions and ethics have been under intense scrutiny. Some of which has been well deserved, but largely LS was caught up in the failing economy and questionable wall street practices. Unfortunately, the value and intrinsic benefits of LS to seniors was lost in the turmoil. NCOIL may be the start of providing seniors with the ability to take control, once again, of their life insurance assets.

No matter which side of the argument you sit on, at the end of the day each individual should be provided full disclosure of their options so that they can make an informed financial decision. By withholding this information someone will lose, and it will most likely be the consumer.

In an climate that now requires full disclosure on all financial products and transactions, why should life insurance be the one product that is excluded from that? We will all be watching the status of the Consumer Disclosure Model Act in the coming weeks and months to see if NCOIL will ultimately side with consumers in their ability to have all options fully disclosed to them.
