LiveSettlements, which bills itself as a life settlements portal providing life settlement and life insurance news and resources for the consumer, launched yesterday...

"We will try to be as independent as possible," he said. "It's important that consumers see both the negatives and positives [about life settlements]. I want to position us as the leading source for helping consumers make informed and educated decisions."

He said he has lined up two former insurance brokers to write copy for the site.

The site contains a free quote tool allowing seniors to determine the cash value of their policies as well as their eligibility for life settlements.

He said he also plans to offer user forums, blog posts, social networking, and life settlement broker and provider company directories. In addition, his company says it is developing a proprietary platform, where life insurance policy owners and agents can interact with life settlement agents, brokers, and providers.
