               OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED


I,  Brian  D.  Pardo,  certify  that:

1.   I  have  reviewed  this  annual  report  on  Form  10-KSB  of Life Partners
     Holdings,  Inc.;

2.   Based  on  my  knowledge,  this  annual  report does not contain any untrue
     statement  of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to
     make  the  statements  made, in light of the circumstances under which such
     statements  were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by
     this  annual  report;  and

3.   Based  on  my  knowledge,  the  financial  statements,  and other financial
     information  included in this annual report, fairly present in all material
     respects  the  financial condition, results of operations and cash flows of
     the registrant as of, and for, the periods presented in this annual report;
     and

4.   The  registrant's  other  certifying  officers  and  I  are responsible for
     establishing and maintaining disclosure controls and procedures (as defined
     in  Exchange  Act  Rules  13a-14  and  15d-14) for the registrant and have:

     (a)  designed  such  disclosure  controls  and  procedures  to  ensure that
          material  information  relating  to  the  registrant,  including  its
          consolidated  subsidiaries, is made known to us by others within those
          entities,  particularly  during the period in which this annual report
          is  being  prepared;

     (b)  evaluated  the  effectiveness  of the registrant's disclosure controls
          and  procedures and presented in this report our conclusions about the
          effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures, as of the end
          of  the  period  covered  by this report based on such evaluation; and

     (c)  disclosed  in  this  report  any  change  in the registrant's internal
          control over financial reporting that occurred during the registrant's
          most  recent fiscal quarter (the registrant's fourth fiscal quarter in
          the  case  of  an  annual  report) that has materially affected, or is
          reasonably  likely  to  materially  affect,  the registrant's internal
          control  over  financial  reporting;  and

5.   The  registrant's  other certifying officers and I have disclosed, based on
     our most recent evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, to
     the  registrant's auditors and the audit committee of registrant's board of
     directors  (or  persons  performing  the  equivalent  function):

     (a)  all  significant  deficiencies  in the design or operation of internal
          control over financial reporting which are reasonably likely to affect
          the  registrant's  ability  to  record,  process, summarize and report
          financial  information;  and

     (b)  any  fraud, whether or not material, that involves management or other
          employees  who  have  a  significant role in the registrant's internal
          control  over  financial  reporting.
