Colonial pays cash for structured settlements!

Federal & State Statutes regarding structured settlements.

The passage of state and federal legislation beginning in 1997 has given all parties participating in the transfer of structured settlement payments a better financial transaction. The seller of annuity payments has gained a court overview and approval to assure a level of Consumer Protection. The purchaser of the cash flow payment stream has the appropriate court jurisdiction validate the transaction which protects the underwriting risk. The annuity issuer can accept the transfer and feel confident that the annuitant, as well as the insurance company, is protected.

Any state that is not on this list or does not have a qualified Structured Settlement Transfer Act may not qualify under Federal statute to allow sale of the payments without incurring the excise tax of H.B. 2884. Someone living in non-court ordered states may still qualify by doing the order in the domiciled state of the issuing insurance company.
