Quick Answer
Quick Answer: Can You Sell Your Structured Settlements in Birmingham?
Yes. Birmingham residents can sell some or all of their future structured settlement payments for a lump sum of cash. A Alabama judge reviews every sale under Ala. Code § 35-11-70 et seq., transfers typically complete in about 60 days, and quotes are free with no obligation.
Why Sell Your Structured Settlement in Birmingham?
Alabama put a legal gate in front of every settlement sale, and it works in the seller's favor. Ala. Code § 35-11-70 et seq. requires a judge to approve any transfer of payment rights, demands written disclosure of the discount rate, net advance, and all fees, and gives interested parties at least 20 days notice before the hearing. For Birmingham sellers, that judge sits on the Jefferson County Circuit Court.
The reasons people in Jefferson County sell are rarely complicated. Hospital bills arrive faster than monthly checks do. A roof has to be replaced this season, not over the next decade. Card balances at high interest can cost more over time than a sensible, fully disclosed discount rate. Some sellers simply want capital for a business or a home instead of another loan.
From signed paperwork to money in your account, the Alabama process usually takes about 60 days. Transactions through this site are funded and completed by Genex Capital after court approval, and your written quote states the discount rate before you sign anything.
