When available, a life insurance policy can provide the needed financial relief through a process known as a life settlement. Lifetime Horizons, LLC is a state-licensed company specializing in the education, assessment, and facilitation of Life Settlements, an untapped asset that could supply a large infusion of cash during the lifetime of the insured.  As both practicing dentists for over 25 years, Dr. Andrea Brockman and Dr. Vincent DiLorenzo conquered the financial hurdles their patients experienced through repurposing medical insurance for dentistry; using the same principles for life care and medical expenses with life insurance. Drs. Brockman and DiLorenzo are members of the Philadelphia and Montgomery County Estate Planning Councils, the American Association of Long Term Care Insurance, and the Greater Philadelphia Chamber of Commerce. A light lunch will be provided; advance registration is required.
