The Schechter Team
A Multi-Disciplined Advanced Life Insurance Team
Expertise in advanced life insurance requires not only expertise in the life insurance industry, but also a solid, deep understanding of all asset classes, general business, family dynamics, legal and tax. It’s rare that one group has built the expertise in- house and can advise on a complete plan.
Our team includes attorneys, JD’s, LLM’s, CFA’s, CLU’s, underwriters, case designers, and client service professionals who work together on your behalf — from the first conversation through every policy review for decades to come. Complex problems require creative solutions.
