Quick Answer
Quick Answer: Can You Sell Your Structured Settlements in Burlington?
Yes. Burlington residents can sell some or all of their future structured settlement payments for a lump sum of cash. A Vermont judge reviews every sale under 9 V.S.A. § 2480aa et seq., transfers typically complete in about 60 days, and quotes are free with no obligation.
Why Sell Your Structured Settlement in Burlington?
Housing in Chittenden County does not come cheap, and for settlement holders in Burlington the distance between a monthly annuity check and real expenses is usually what starts the conversation. Sellers here put lump sums toward buying or repairing a home, clearing medical balances, retiring high-interest debt, or funding a business instead of financing one.
Vermont's transfer statute, 9 V.S.A. § 2480aa, keeps the process honest. A Superior Court judge must approve every sale after finding it in your best interest, and nothing becomes final until that order is signed. The law also demands full written disclosure of the discount rate, the net amount you will receive, and every fee before the court will look at the deal.
Timing is predictable: about 60 days from signed agreement to money arriving. Interested parties get 20 days advance notice of the hearing, and you will complete independent professional advice before you appear, a requirement that exists purely for your protection.
Quotes are free, the rate goes in writing before you commit to anything, and funding comes from our exclusive partner Genex Capital after approval, backed by our guaranty.
Simple, Transparent Process
Your written quote spells out exactly which payments you are selling, the purchase price, and the discount rate. No surprises at any step, and you owe nothing if the court does not approve.

Selling Structured Settlements in Burlington - FAQ
How do I sell my structured settlement in Burlington?
It begins with a free quote that shows the discount rate in writing, so the pricing is transparent before you decide anything. Signing happens by DocuSign or through a notary we arrange at no charge. From there the partner legal team files your petition with the Superior Court, and your funds arrive about 3 business days after the judge grants approval.
How long does court approval take in Vermont?
About 60 days is typical from signing to funding. Vermont requires 20 days advance notice to all interested parties before the hearing, plus completion of independent professional advice, so the schedule is set mostly by statute. Complete, accurate paperwork on day one is the best way to stay on the fast end of that range.
Where will my Vermont hearing take place?
In the Civil Division of the Vermont Superior Court, Chittenden Unit, at 175 Main St in Burlington. Plan for a short session rather than a trial. The judge reviews your petition, confirms the disclosure and advice requirements were met, and asks a few plain questions about your situation before ruling.
What does it cost to sell my payments in Vermont?
Nothing out of pocket. The quote, notary or DocuSign signing, court filing, and legal work are all covered. The transaction is priced through the discount rate applied to your future payments, which Vermont law requires to be disclosed in writing before court approval, so the cost of the deal is visible on page one, not hidden in fees.
