Steps to Cash Out a Structured Settlement

In this blog post we will be discussing the steps it takes to cash out a structured settlement. There are 7 steps that need to be taken in order to fully cash out a structured settlement annuity. Please be aware that we are not offering any legal or financial advise, but rather a guide to selling the rights to your future structured settlement payments.

1) The first step to cashing in your lottery, annuity, or structured settlement payments is to gather all of your documents, this includes but is not limited to your settlement agreement, benefit's letter, qualified assignment agreement, bankruptcy documents, divorce info and other financial documents relating to your settlement, annuity, or lottery.

2) Next, research potential structured settlement buyers who will buy your structured settlement payments. It's important to research many companies to get the best possible price. You may also choose to use a company like Settlement Quotes, LLC who has a network of structured settlement buyers and private investors and will do all the shopping for you.

3) Once you have researched a few companies, be sure to either complete their online form info or call them to submit your payment stream info. Do not input any information online to a company that is either not part of the Better Business Bureau (BBB) or does not have a SSL Certificate.

4) Once you receive your quotes back from the companies, be sure to compare BBB records to ensure that you are working with a reputable company.

5) You may choose to consult with a financial advisor or CPA to ensure that you are making a wise decision by selling the rights to your structured settlement payments.

6) Once you complete the documents and send them back to the funding company you may need to receive Independent Professional Advice from a CPA, accountant, or lawyer depending on state that you reside in.

7) Within 6-10 weeks you should receive your lump sum of cash.
