Cash for Annuity Payments - Tips for Selling Your Structured Settlement
By Simon Volkov

People who need cash for annuity payments can sell their structured settlement to a private note investor or lending institution. However, doing so is not without risk. It's important to understand how this type of financial transaction works and even more important to scrutinize the company you plan to sell to.

Obtaining cash for annuity payments is a rather complex process and requires the assistance of a structured settlement specialist. This can either be an attorney or professional who has been trained in this field. You can begin the process by contacting the company who organized your structured settlement or you can choose to work with another individual.

When you sell annuity payments to a private investor or financial institution, you assign them the right to future payments in exchange for a lump sum of cash. Annuity payments can be sold in whole or part. For example, if your structured settlement provides payments for twenty years, you can sell one to twenty years of payments.

The first step to obtaining cash for annuity payments requires you to determine how much money you need. Many people choose to sell their structured settlement payments to pay off debt, medical expenses or college tuition. Others desire cash for investment purposes such as purchasing stocks and bonds or real estate.

The second step requires you to gather your structured settlement details. The note investor or financial institution will need to know the name of the life insurance company backing the annuity payments, along with the exact dates, amount of each payment and how many payments are remaining.

Additionally, you will need to inform the investor of how much money you need and how many payments you wish to sell. This information allows the note buyer to determine the present day value of your structured settlement.

The investor will review the information and contact you to discuss various payment options. Private investors who specialize in structured settlements typically have access to a number of annuity buyers and will be able to connect you with those who offer top dollar for future annuity payments.

The initial consultation will take about one-half hour of your time. You want to feel at ease with the investor and should seize this opportunity to ask questions and obtain references. Be certain to contact referrals and conduct research on the company through the Better Business Bureau.

Once an annuity buyer is located for your structured settlement, you will receive documents which will need to be signed and notarized. As required by state law, this process takes a minimum of 3 to 10 business days to complete.

The signed documents are then sent to a factoring company who facilitates the underwriting process. Once the underwriting process is completed, the transaction must be approved by a judge who authorizes the transfer of payments. Typically, you must have a compelling reason to sell your annuity payments for cash. Reason being, structured settlements are issued to ensure the recipient will have funds to cover living and healthcare expenses. Many judges are reluctant in allowing individuals to sell their payments for cash unless they show just cause.

Before you attempt to obtain cash for annuity payments, take time to conduct thorough research. Investigate several note buying companies and speak with at least three consultants prior to making your decision. This will help ensure a positive experience when obtaining cash for your structured settlement.

Car & Truck Accidents Wrongful Death Birth Injuries Brain Injuries Construction Accidents Cerebral Palsy Erb's Palsy Lawsuits Against the City of New York Police Brutality Defective Products Medical Malpractice Civil Rights Violations Motorcycle Accidents Defective & Dangerous Drugs Drug Recalls Plane & Helicopter Crashes Nursing Home Abuse -------------------------------------- Marc Reibman is a graduate of the Boston University School of Law. He began practicing law in 1981 with the well known New York firm of Costello & Shea. At Costello & Shea, Marc handled medical malpractice, product liability and admiralty cases. In 1986, Marc left Costello & Shea to start his own firm representing personal injury victims at this current office location. Marc represents the victims of many different kinds of negligence including catastrophic motor vehicle accidents, construction site accidents, slip, trip, and fall cases, medical malpractice, and defective products. Marc takes pride in obtaining maximum settlements or jury verdicts for his clients. He has tried numerous cases where the jury reached a verdict in excess of a million dollars. Marc has the largest verdict in New York State for a short duration of pain and suffering. ($10,500,000.00 for two and a half minutes of suffering in an elevator death case). In many other cases the defendants have settled with Marc for millions of dollars without going to trial. Marc handles all phases of cases personally from the initial client interview to depositions, to court appearances and trials. Marc is most proud of obtaining jury verdicts or settlements for clients who were turned away by other firms because their case seemed to be too complicated or not sufficiently significant. Marc has a particular expertise in cases that require scientific or engineering analysis to understand the mechanism of injury. As a result of his hard work and the successful representation of his clients, a very large percentage of the firm's clients are referred to the firm by former clients who were satisfied with the personal attention and care they received during the pendency of their lawsuits. -------------------------------------- Steven Weiner began practicing law in 1990 at the large "Wall Street" firm of Stroock & Stroock & Lavan. Before Steven became a lawyer, he graduated from medical school and was a licensed practicing physician. Steven worked at Stroock for three years during which time he participated in complex product liability litigation and other areas of general practice litigation. Steven left Stroock to pursue his interest in helping individual people instead of representing large corporations. Steven joined Marc's practice in 1993. Marc and Steven have established a successful partnership that builds on each other's strengths. Because of his medical background, Steven is able to quickly read and analyze voluminous medical records -- often finding significant evidence of malpractice or injury that would be difficult for an attorney without a medical background to find. Steven represents clients at all stages of litigation -- from initial case evaluation and intake, to jury trial or settlement. Steven is particularly proud of his work in the area of civil rights and police brutality litigation. Steven has represented many people who have been unlawfully incarcerated, physically abused, or harassed by the police or other law enforcement authorities. Satisfied clients continue to refer others who have been injured through no fault of their own.
