Quick Answer
Quick Answer: Can You Sell Your Structured Settlements in Seattle?
Yes. Seattle residents can sell some or all of their future structured settlement payments for a lump sum of cash. A Washington judge reviews every sale under Wash. Rev. Code § 19.205 et seq., transfers typically complete in about 60 days, and quotes are free with no obligation.
Why Sell Your Structured Settlement in Seattle?
Housing in King County is expensive, and a fixed settlement check does not adjust for that. Seattle sellers commonly convert future payments into cash to secure housing, resolve medical balances, clear high-interest debt, or fund a business, all situations where waiting on a payment schedule has a real cost of its own.
Washington's Structured Settlement Protection Act, Wash. Rev. Code § 19.205 et seq., sets the guardrails. A King County Superior Court judge must approve the transfer, interested parties receive 20 days advance notice, independent professional advice is required before the hearing, and the discount rate, net advance amount, and all fees must be disclosed in full. Signing to funding typically spans about 60 days.
Our process is built to be predictable: a free quote with the discount rate disclosed in writing, DocuSign or notary signing at no charge, a petition filed by the partner legal team, and funding and completion by Genex Capital after the court's approval. The quote you accept is the quote that gets funded, a commitment described in our guaranty, with Washington details on the state page.

Where Your Transfer Is Filed in Seattle
Structured settlement petitions for Seattle residents are filed in King County Superior Court, which hears civil matters at the King County Courthouse, 516 Third Ave, Seattle, WA 98104. The superior court judge reviews the transfer under Washington's protection act and must conclude the sale is in your best interest before signing the order.
The 20-day advance notice to interested parties runs before your hearing, and your independent professional advice must be in hand as well. For a complete file, the hearing is brief, often just long enough for the judge to hear your reasons in your own words.

Selling Structured Settlements in Seattle - FAQ
How do I sell my structured settlement in Seattle?
Everything starts with a free quote stating the discount rate in writing. When you are ready, sign by DocuSign or with a notary at no cost, and the partner legal team files the petition in King County Superior Court. Once the judge approves the transfer, your funds are released in about 3 business days.
How long does court approval take in Washington?
Plan for roughly 60 days from signature to funding. Washington law requires 20 days advance notice to all interested parties and independent professional advice before the hearing can proceed, and King County Superior Court's civil calendar determines the precise hearing date within that stretch.
Where will my hearing be held?
At the King County Courthouse, 516 Third Ave in downtown Seattle, before a King County Superior Court judge. Transfer hearings are usually short and direct. Expect questions about why you are selling, what the money will accomplish, and whether you reviewed the disclosures with your independent adviser.
Do I have to hire an attorney to sell my settlement in Seattle?
No personal attorney is required. The petition, notices, and court filings are handled by the partner legal team at no charge to you. Washington does require independent professional advice before your hearing, which is a separate safeguard, and retaining your own lawyer on top of that is always an option.
