Quick Answer
Quick Answer: Can You Sell Your Structured Settlements in Grand Rapids?
Yes. Grand Rapids residents can sell some or all of their future structured settlement payments for a lump sum of cash. A Michigan judge reviews every sale under Mich. Comp. Laws § 691.1301 et seq., transfers typically complete in about 60 days, and quotes are free with no obligation.
Why Sell Your Structured Settlement in Grand Rapids?
A structured settlement can feel like security right up until it becomes a constraint. Kent County sellers usually contact us when something their monthly payment cannot handle shows up: a medical procedure, a down payment or major home repair, collection accounts, or a business opportunity with a deadline attached. Others simply want to stop paying high interest on debt while small checks trickle in.
Michigan gives you a regulated way through. Under Mich. Comp. Laws § 691.1301 et seq., the Kent County 17th Circuit Court must review any transfer and find it in your best interest. The buyer must disclose the discount rate, the net advance amount, and all fees in writing, interested parties receive at least 20 days advance notice, and you must obtain independent professional advice before the hearing.
Start to finish, expect roughly 60 days. You request a quote, review the disclosed discount rate, and sign. The partner legal team handles the filing, and the transaction is funded and completed by our partner Genex Capital after approval. The full sequence is laid out on our how it works page, and our Michigan page covers statewide rules.

Selling Structured Settlements in Grand Rapids - FAQ
How do I sell my structured settlement in Grand Rapids?
Get a free quote and read the discount rate, which we disclose in writing. If the numbers work for you, sign by DocuSign or with a notary at no charge. The partner legal team files the petition with the Kent County 17th Circuit Court, and funds are released about 3 business days after court approval.
How long does court approval take in Michigan?
Around 60 days is the norm in Michigan. The statute builds in a minimum 20 days advance notice to interested parties, and the 17th Circuit Court's calendar determines the hearing date beyond that. Sellers who complete their independent professional advice early and return documents quickly consistently see the shorter timelines.
Where will my transfer hearing be held?
Your petition is heard at the Kent County Courthouse, 180 Ottawa Avenue NW, Grand Rapids, MI 49503, home of the 17th Circuit Court. The appearance itself is generally brief. The judge will confirm that notice went out properly, that you received independent professional advice, and that the sale genuinely serves your interests.
What happens if the judge denies my petition?
Nothing bad happens to you. Your payments continue exactly as before, and you owe nothing, since there are no out-of-pocket costs. A denial usually signals that the judge wants a smaller transfer, a clearer purpose, or better terms. Many Michigan sellers adjust the amount or the documentation and refile successfully.
