Quick Answer
Quick Answer: Can You Sell Your Structured Settlements in Fort Myers?
Yes. Fort Myers residents can sell some or all of their future structured settlement payments for a lump sum of cash. A Florida judge reviews every sale under Fla. Stat. § 626.99296, transfers typically complete in about 60 days, and quotes are free with no obligation.
Why Sell Your Structured Settlement in Fort Myers?
Structured settlement money in Fort Myers usually traces back to an injury case resolved years ago, with payments sized for a different chapter of life. Those checks often do not stretch to what Lee County households deal with now: home repairs, insurance premiums, medical bills, or debt compounding at double-digit rates. Some sellers need one payment moved forward. Others convert several years of checks into a single sum for a down payment or a business.
Florida gives sellers a defined legal path. Fla. Stat. § 626.99296 requires court approval for every transfer and a minimum of 20 days between signing the transfer agreement and the hearing. Interested parties receive 20 days advance notice, independent professional advice is required, and the typical start-to-finish timeline is about 60 days.
When you sell through this site, the quote comes with the discount rate disclosed in writing, and the transaction is funded and completed by our partner Genex Capital after the Lee County court approves it. You can request a quote at no cost or read the statewide rules on our Florida page.

Where Your Transfer Is Filed in Fort Myers
Lee County transfer petitions go before the Twentieth Judicial Circuit Court of Florida, which hears civil matters at the Lee County Justice Center, 1700 Monroe St in downtown Fort Myers. The judge's job under Fla. Stat. § 626.99296 is protective: the transfer can only be approved if it is in your best interest, taking into account the welfare and support of your dependents. Florida adds a hard timing rule, requiring at least 20 days between the day you execute the agreement and the day of the hearing, and you must receive independent professional advice beforehand. The hearing itself is typically brief.

Selling Structured Settlements in Fort Myers - FAQ
How do I sell my structured settlement in Fort Myers?
Begin with a free quote showing the discount rate disclosed in writing. If the number works for you, sign by DocuSign or with a notary at no charge. The partner legal team files your petition with the Twentieth Judicial Circuit in Lee County, and once the judge approves, funding lands about 3 business days later.
How long does court approval take in Florida?
Roughly 60 days is typical. Florida law itself sets part of that clock: at least 20 days must pass between signing the transfer agreement and the court hearing, and interested parties are entitled to 20 days advance notice. Docket availability at the Lee County Justice Center fills out the remainder.
Where will my hearing be held in Lee County?
At the Lee County Justice Center, 1700 Monroe St in downtown Fort Myers, where the Twentieth Judicial Circuit hears civil cases. The appearance is usually short. Expect the judge to ask what the money is for, whether you understand the discount rate, and whether anyone depends on the payments you are selling.
What happens if the judge denies my transfer?
Your settlement stays exactly as it was. Payments continue on their original schedule and you owe nothing, since there are no out-of-pocket costs. A denial usually signals the judge wanted a stronger showing of best interest, and many sellers return with a smaller partial sale or clearer documentation and get approved.
