Quick Answer
Quick Answer: Can You Sell Your Structured Settlements in Philadelphia?
Yes. Philadelphia residents can sell some or all of their future structured settlement payments for a lump sum of cash. A Pennsylvania judge reviews every sale under 40 Pa. Stat. § 4001 et seq., transfers typically complete in about 60 days, and quotes are free with no obligation.
Why Sell Your Structured Settlement in Philadelphia?
Pennsylvania's transfer law, 40 Pa. Stat. § 4001 et seq., makes one demand above all others: a judge must find that selling your payments serves your best interest before any transfer becomes final. In Philadelphia County, that finding comes from the Court of Common Pleas, part of the First Judicial District.
Sellers across the Philadelphia area bring different goals to that courtroom. Some are paying down medical bills or high-interest cards. Some are buying a house. Some need capital for work, a truck, tools, a storefront, a certification. The common thread is a fixed payment schedule that no longer fits the situation it was originally written for, and a need the checks cannot reach.
The statute requires 20 days advance notice to all interested parties, and most Pennsylvania transfers finish in about 60 days from signed paperwork to funding. Your quote is prepared with the discount rate disclosed in writing, and the transaction is funded and completed by Genex Capital after court approval.
