Knowing When to Sell a Structured Settlement




By Joshua Shapiro

Knowing when to sell a structured settlement is difficult as everyone's circumstances are different. One person may determine they need to sell when someone thinks it is not necessary. To know if it is time to sell your structured settlement, you need to look at your personal details and evaluate your circumstances.


Do you need a lump sum of money? This is the primary indicator that it is time to sell a structured settlement. You may have bills that are overdue and those small checks that are sent just are not cutting it. However, you need to look at your circumstances. Be sure you do not use your lump sum of money to catch up on bills just to be in the same boat once the money is gone. Selling a structured settlement will be of most benefit if you have unusual circumstances arise – such as the birth of a new child or a medical emergency. In these instances, a lump sum of money will bail you out of a jam and allow you to get back on track.


Another way to know it is time to sell a structured settlement is when circumstances arise in which you would benefit greatly from doing so. You may not need the money now, but having it in hand may be very useful under the right circumstances. An example would be an opportunity to invest in an IPO or, even better, to open your own business. You may decide to pay off your mortgage or eliminate your unsecured debt. Any of these examples would be a great reason to sell your structured settlement for a cash payout.


Selling a structured settlement is a personal choice. After reading these examples, listen to your intuition to know if it is the right time for you.
