Should I take a lump sum or structured settlement?

It depends on your goals-lump sums offer flexibility, while structured payments create stable, long-term income. We walk through pros, cons, and real-life scenarios.

How do structured settlements pay out?

Payments can be monthly, annually, or tied to specific dates-designed to match life milestones or income needs.

Can structured settlement payments be customized?

Yes-most payment schedules can be tailored for college, retirement, home buying, or other goals.


How is an annuity used to fund payments?
Structured settlements often use annuities to guarantee payments, with clear documentation and timelines.
