About Gloria Grening Wolk, MSW

 

Gloria Wolk's viatical books draw on decades of experience as teacher, family counselor,  financial planner, insurance consultant, and tax preparer.
 

She brought to her research of this new and complex area the education and experience gained from CCNY (City College of New York) and the University of Connecticut Graduate School of Social Work, and as a financial planner and award-winning career agent with Lincoln National (one of the top 15 diversified financial institutions in the nation).

 

Wolk has long been an advocate for those who are powerless (e.g., founder of Connecticut's Coalition to Protect Children of Divorce), but it was not her intention to become a consumer advocate again. Her intent was to complete a historical biography that was her passion for years. Consumer advocacy was thrust on her, after she became aware that patients who sold their life insurance faced considerable risks. This awareness began in an unexpected way (details in Ca$h for the Final Days).

 

Since there were no other books on viatical settlements, prospective investors began to phone to ask advice. As these calls became more frequent, Wolk realized there was an increasing need for this information, as well, and set about researching the issues in greater depth, then enlisting experts in related areas to contribute chapters to what became, Viatical Settlements: An Investor's Guide.

The consumer advocacy efforts of Wolk are not financed by any entity. She is assisted in acquiring information by many people across the nation to whom she refers as the "007 Crew."

Gloria Wolk is a member of IRES (Investigative Reporters and Editors).
