Structured Settlements in A Low Interest Rate Environment

We often hear from our plaintiff attorney clients that their clients should not use a structured settlement annuity due to the current low interest rate environment. Their thought is that their clients can do better in other financial instruments such as the stock market.

This logic fails to take into the consideration one of the best features of a structured settlement annuity which is its income tax FREE GUARANTEED payments.

I am a financial adviser and Certified Financial Planner with over 20 years of experience who can advise clients regarding ALL financial options and not simply limited to Structured Settlement Annuities. I have witnessed MANY high and low interest rate environments and MANY claimants who were going to "get a higher rate of return" outside of a structured settlement annuity who are now OUT OF MONEY!

Remember, it doesn't matter what rate of return you are getting if the balance of your investments is ZERO!

But don't just take my word for it!  Please click the following link for a great article on this subject:

The 4 Biggest 401(k) Rollover Mistakes

  By Cyril S. White, Certified Financial Planner™   As people transition from one employer to another, many are still uncertain about what to do with their 401(k) plan when they leave their employer. Here are 4 of the biggest mistakes you should avoid when considering what to do with your 401(k).   A plan participant leaving an employer typically has four options (and may engage in a combination of these options as well), each choice offering advantages and disadvantages.   1.      Leave the money in his/her former employer’s plan, if permitted; 2.      Roll over the assets to his/her new employer’s plan, if one is available and rollovers are permitted; 3.      Roll over to an Individual Retirement Account (IRA); or 4.      Cash out the account value.  Each of these options can have a significant impact on your financial goals if not planned and implement...

COVID will not stop us providing unique settlement solutions using structured settlement annuities!

I hope that you are doing well! We just FINALLY completed the settlement of a case for a minor (age 17) that we were initially engaged by our plaintiff attorney client in February 2021, to provide structured settlement annuity quotes! Although the claimant was very close to the age of majority the key to the case was not giving him all of the settlement proceeds, which was over $120,000, at age 18. Having been in this business for over 20 years I cannot tell you the number of sad cases we have witnessed where the young claimant receives their settlement proceeds at age 18 only to blow through all the funds before anyone can blink and make bad decisions with the proceeds! This case involved two liability insurance carriers Liberty Mutual and Member Select. We coordinated multiple rounds of document revisions and had to have a separate set of different documents for each insurance carrier. In addition, one of the carriers would not fund the annuity until we had a fully executed court ord...
