Selling Your Structured Settlement

To sell structured insurance settlement means you’re selling the periodic payments you are regularly receiving for lump-sum payment. Though this may sound simple, there are several factors that you may need to consider before you can finally sell your structured insurance settlement. Perhaps the first thing you need to do is to know the present cash value of your structured settlement. You can either hire a financial adviser or you can use online calculators which will only require you to provide certain information about the structured settlement. After you have learned about the current value of your structured settlement, you now have to look for settlement buyers.


You need at least 3 buyers on your list. Make sure that you check for the legitimacy of the buyers. You can ask for their quotes and choose the highest bidder. Once you have notified the company that you’re interested to sell your structured settlement, they’ll send you a contract which you need to review, if there’s something you don’t understand, you need to clarify it with their representative before signing any document. You may want to consult a lawyer during this stage. If you agree to all the terms on the contract, you now sign it and send it back to the settlement buyer. Then you receive the check once the contract is approved.

Making the Most of Your Structured Settlement Payments

Having structured settlement payments can be quite a boon. You can count on your payments coming in to make sure your bills are paid and you can live comfortably or at least have some extra money. However, some people may want to make sure they get the most out of their settlement payments. Well, after your bills are paid, there are some ways you can make the most of this extra cash. For example, you should think about retirement and investing that money. You can make the most of it, especially if you don’t really need the money right away. You can put it into stocks or mutual funds and you should see a healthy return in a few years. If time is on your side, then you should definitely talk to a financial planner. However, if you don’t want to play in the stock market, there are other ways your money can make you money. You can sell structured settlement payments to a company for a lump sum. Why sell structured settlement payments? To invest. For example, you can invest in a business or franchise or perhaps, you should invest in yourself by getting a higher degree which could provide for you and your family in the long run.

Should You Sell Your Structured Settlement

As you (and many other Americans may know) dealing with insurance companies can be very difficult. It’s bad enough that you have to suffer through medical emergencies, but you also have to fight to get your insurance (which you pay for) to pony up the money you need to pay for your medical procedures. In many cases, you may even have to sue them in court to get your money. If the court were to rule in your favor, you will get a structured settlement instead of a lump sum. However, this may seem unfair, considering that insurance companies earn millions of dollars each year and you have to wait for your money. However, it may be more difficult and costly to try and get the lump sum from them. It might be better to just go ahead and sell your settlement. But, can you really sell structured insurance settlement?

There are many companies that do this. They can buy your settlement and give you the money you may desperately need. They will then wait for your settlement payments and give you the lump sum amount or what remains of it, for a small flat amount or a percentage of the lump sum.

Do You Have an Insurance Settlement

Everyone who has dealt with insurance companies knows how difficult they can be. And when you do make them pay, they may give you an structured insurance settlement. That means, instead of giving you the entire amount owed to you when you incur any medical treatments, they will instead give it in payments. That seems highly unfair in some cases, and it may not be enough. For example, if you’ve gone broke paying off creditors trying to stay afloat because you can’t work (due to the medical injuries in the first place) then waiting for a paltry sum each year or month won’t help you save your assets.


That’s why you may want to instead sell your structured insurance settlement. When you sell your structured insurance settlement, you can immediately get the lump cash you need now in order to get your life together. You’ll find many companies who would be willing to do this, in exchange for a fee or percentage. Don’t forget, they are the ones taking the risk in case your insurance company decides to stop paying the settlement for one reason or another. When you sell your settlement, you can get the money you need right now, without having to wait. This may be able to help you and your family.

How to Sell Your Settlement

Having a structured settlement can be a boon for many people. They just wait and every few months they get some cash. However, things aren’t always this simple. It could be, they won this money because they’ve been injured and cannot work. In such cases, medical bills and other types of bills may be piling up, and this month’s payment may not be able to keep the wolves at bay. In such a case, they will not be able to wait and you may end up losing some of your assets. Instead of selling your stuff, you do have options.

For those who have a settlement but need the cash now, one option is to sell. It’s really quite easy to sell a structured settlement and many people do it today. There are companies out there who would be willing to purchase your settlement. Keep in mind: these companies are performing a service and they do take on the risk of your settlement. That means if the person paying your settlement goes bankrupt or decides not to pay or challenge the settlement, they are the ones holding the bag. That’s why they do charge a fee for giving you that lump sum of money and you will ending up with less than if you waiting for the money. That said, you should shop around. Many companies offer this service and by comparing them, you can find a company that can offer you a good deal. That way, you can have your lump sum of cash now and not have to worry about what tomorrow may bring.
