Reasons For Selling Structured Settlement Annuity
When an emergency arises, people need to get money quickly. They don't have the time to wait for their annuity payments. Luckily there are various companies that will purchase your structured settlement annuity so you can have the cash when you need it the most.
There are various reasons why people decide on selling structured settlement annuities. Some do it voluntarily while others sell because they have no other choice. Whatever the reason is, having a buyer to turn to in time of need is a welcome option for anyone concerned.
Basically, to understand what a structured settlement is, it's simply a financial agreement where you're getting compensated from an insurance settlement or some other type of settlement. It will be paid using an annuity. The payments are made in regularly scheduled installments over a period of time instead of one bulk payout. However, a lot of people decide to sell their annuity payments because they don't want to have the restriction of waiting for each disbursement.
Some of the reasons for selling a structured settlement is because they need it for their children's education, a medical emergency or because they're starting a business.
There are different types of annuities that an individual is allowed to sell. In fact even medical malpractice settlement, personal injury settlement, product liability settlement, or from a wrongful death settlement can be sold. You can receive a lump sum cash for shared, partial, or even complete buyouts depending on the plan you choose.
Take note though that you should submit relevant documents for you to be able to sell your settlement annuity. These include the completed copy of the application, the annuity policy documents, the extended release or the settlement agreement, a recent copy of the annuity check or stub, your tax return, two identification cards (one must have a photo), marriage license if applicable, divorce decree if applicable, a copy if the Will and Probate document if applicable, and copies of any assignment, revisions, and other papers that are related to the structured settlement annuity.
Meeting these requirements is actually quite easy if you have all documents at hand. If you decide on a selling structured settlement annuity to an interested company, you should do some research on their rates because you may find another company that can buy your annuity at a higher rate.
But remember that most of all, you should be assured that the company you are dealing with is really reliable so that you can get the cash you need right away.
