Key topics that will be covered

01
Deal Structure
Lenders finance large life insurance premiums with variable-rate loans secured by collateral and personal guarantees.
02
Scam Tactics
Agents promise free insurance, no personal liability, and retirement income through misrepresentations.
03
Failure Points
Deals collapse due to rising interest rates, loan maturity, and increasing cost of insurance.
04
Liable Parties
Agents, brokers, and insurance carriers can be sued; working with lenders is often more productive.
05
Key Claims
Fraud anchors the case, supported by negligence, rescission, breach of fiduciary duty, and statutory claims.
06
Common Defenses
Defendants claim risks were disclosed and the plan would have worked if clients stayed longer.
