Track 1: The Trustee Wants Answers: Handling NEW Life Insurance Inquiries and Settlement Valuation
Friday October 9, 2026 8:45am - 10:00am HST
Chapter 7 and Chapter 13 trustees are ramping up inquiries and demanding deeper disclosures regarding debtor life insurance policies—with an increasing focus on term life insurance. While standard practice has long treated term policies as having zero equity or estate value, trustees are looking closer at potential secondary market opportunities.


This session equips consumer bankruptcy practitioners with the practical strategies needed to navigate these expanding trustee demands. Attendees will learn how to handle aggressive policy information requests, distinguish how trustees evaluate term versus permanent coverage, and utilize life settlements as an innovative tool to uncover, evaluate, and monetize policy value within the bankruptcy process.
