Quick Answer
Quick Answer: Can You Sell Your Structured Settlements in Fresno?
Yes. Fresno residents can sell some or all of their future structured settlement payments for a lump sum of cash. A California judge reviews every sale under Cal. Ins. Code § 10134-10139.5, transfers typically complete in about 75 days, and quotes are free with no obligation.
Why Sell Your Structured Settlement in Fresno?
What would a lump sum change for you? For sellers across Fresno County, the honest answers are practical ones: paying off a hospital balance, getting current on rent or a mortgage, escaping a payday or title loan cycle, or putting money into a small business that a monthly check can never quite fund.
California adds an extra layer of protection compared with many states. The transfer rules in Cal. Ins. Code § 10134-10139.5 require you to receive independent professional advice, mandate a 20-day minimum waiting period between disclosure and the court hearing, and call for 20 days advance notice to all interested parties. Because of these safeguards, the typical California timeline runs closer to 75 days than the 60 seen elsewhere.
Every transaction here follows the same path: a written quote with the discount rate disclosed, free signing by DocuSign or notary, a petition filed in the Superior Court, and funding and completion by our partner Genex Capital once the judge approves. You can read about our quote guaranty and find the full California rules on our state page.

Where Your Transfer Is Filed in Fresno
Your petition is filed with the Superior Court of California, County of Fresno, and civil matters like structured settlement transfers are heard at the B.F. Sisk Courthouse, 1130 O Street, Fresno, CA 93721. A superior court judge examines the deal under the California Insurance Code and may approve it only after finding the sale is in your best interest, taking into account your household's needs.
California's required independent professional advice and its 20-day gap between disclosure and hearing both happen before this date, so the hearing itself is usually short, often a few direct questions from the bench.

Selling Structured Settlements in Fresno - FAQ
How do I sell my structured settlement in Fresno?
Ask for a quote, which is free and arrives in writing with the discount rate disclosed. After you sign by DocuSign or before a notary, at no charge either way, the partner legal team files your petition with the Fresno County Superior Court. Expect funding roughly 3 business days after the approval order is entered.
How long does court approval take in California?
California runs longer than most states, about 75 days on average. The Insurance Code requires a 20-day minimum between disclosure and hearing, 20 days advance notice to interested parties, and documented independent professional advice, and busy Superior Court calendars add time on top of the statutory floors.
Where will my transfer hearing be held?
At the B.F. Sisk Courthouse, 1130 O Street in downtown Fresno, home to the civil division of the Superior Court of California, County of Fresno. The appearance tends to be brief. Judges mainly want to hear, in your own words, why the sale makes sense for you.
What happens if the judge denies my transfer?
You owe nothing and you lose nothing except time. Your structured settlement continues paying exactly as before. Denials usually come with an explanation, such as too steep a rate or an unclear purpose, and many sellers return with a smaller partial sale or better documentation and get approved on a second petition.
