If you receive payments from a structured settlement, or are about to receive a structured settlement, this page will be a valuable resource.
Most structured settlements are paid out over time via an annuity offering future payments. You always have the option to sell structured settlement payments today!
These payments may be scheduled for any length of time -- even as long as the claimant's lifetime -- and are structured to meet the financial needs of the claimant. Payments can be in equal amounts or can vary. They may include future lump sums.
A structured settlement arrangement may be agreed to privately, as in a pre-trial settlement, or it may be required by a court order, as in a settlement or judgment involving a minor.
