SPECIAL NEEDS PLANNING

Did you know that 1 in 5 families have special needs?

If you care for a person ( or know someone that does ) with a disability or other special needs, it's important that you look beyond their medical care attention and the help that is provided on a day-to-day basis. How you/they prepare for their financial well being will make a tremendous difference in lifestyle's now and when you are no longer caring for a loved one.

To talk to a Special Needs Specialist call Phil Goodman at 516-364-7171 or 800-377-4776

The State of STOLI Laws

STOLI PROMOTERS ON THE RUN

December 2009 - NEW YORK STATE outlaws STOLI

October 2009 - California has enacted a bill aimed at regulating life settlements and imposing a state ban on Stranger Owned Life insurance. The new law, S.B 98,prohibits policy owners from entering into a life settlement for 2 years after a policy is issued. Legislation to curb STOLI transactions has now been enacted in 26 states and is pending in 13 others.

June 2009 - Washington State passed a life settlement bill that includes an unprecedented provision requiring insurers to provide seniors with fair and reliable information on life settlements as an option after the lapse or surrender of their life insurance policies. The new law also classifies stranger-originated life insurance ( STOLI ) transactions as a fraudulent practice and bans life settlement agreements within two years of the policy being issued.

 

CARRIERS TAKE ACTION

 

Lincoln National sues a California physican claiming he misrepresented his circumstances when he applied for $30 million of STOLI insurance.

AXA files a suit in federal court in Florida against several insurance brokers and the trustees alleging that they obtained $73 million in fraudulent Stoli policies.

 

Agents Fired for Selling IOLI

New York Life has fired an undisclosed number of

"top" agents over the past several months for selling so-called investor owned life insurance policies, according toInvestmentNews.com The company has also rescinded the policies. The move is the latest twist in efforts by insurers and regulators to prevent third parties from using life insurance as an investment wechicle rather than as a way to provide protection to families and businesses.

 

"If you try to circumvent insurable interest laws, you'll get caught. And if you lie or omit information from an application, then you've engaged in insurance fraud, which is punishable by jail time." Stephen Leimberg at LIMRA International's Advanced Sales Forum
