The Lowdown on Structured Settlement Funding




By Joshua Shapiro

Structured settlement funding is one of the many terms used to describe cashing in a structured settlement for a lump sum of cash. Structured settlements are basically payment plans which pay out awards over an extended period of time. Up until the last few years, people that held structured settlements were stuck with the payment terms; however, several companies have come into the market willing to purchase these assets from holders. Individuals that once had no options are finally given the opportunity to access the money that is rightfully theirs.


The first step in structured settlement funding is finding the right company to meet your needs. Many begin their search on the internet because it is the least limited and offers the most in the way of options. Most major companies have websites to research the company's history and buying procedures. This is an important step in the selling process because you want to be sure of the buyers' integrity and willingness to work with clients for a common goal.


Once you find a match in the way of companies, it is time to get to the nitty-gritty. This means being prepared to offer all the paperwork and information on your structured settlement so the company can properly transfer it. Some individuals drag their feet on this step and wonder why funding takes so long – the company can only work with what you give them. Providing all the proper paperwork enables the buyer to diligently and quickly get your money to you.


Another step in the paperwork process is signing all the necessary contracts with the buyer. There will be a basic contract and also usually a specific contract assigning the rights of the structured settlement to the buyer. Once this is complete, you simply have to wait for a check to be cut and you will have your money.
