Quick Answer
Quick Answer: Can You Sell Your Structured Settlements in St. Louis?
Yes. St. Louis residents can sell some or all of their future structured settlement payments for a lump sum of cash. A Missouri judge reviews every sale under Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.1200 et seq., transfers typically complete in about 60 days, and quotes are free with no obligation.
Why Sell Your Structured Settlement in St. Louis?
The petitions filed in the 22nd Judicial Circuit tell similar stories: medical bills that arrived faster than the annuity pays, a house that finally came within reach, balances compounding at rates no settlement can match, or a business that needs cash instead of a payment schedule. St. Louis sellers rarely sell on impulse. They sell to solve something specific.
Missouri's rules live in Mo. Rev. Stat. § 407.1200. A circuit judge must find the transfer in your best interest before it can close, and the statute requires the discount rate, net advance amount, and all fees to be presented in writing beforehand. One quirk matters for venue: St. Louis is an independent city, so city residents file in the city's own circuit, not in the county courts in Clayton.
The whole process typically spans about 60 days. Interested parties receive 20 days advance notice of the hearing, and independent professional advice is required before you stand in front of the judge.

Selling Structured Settlements in St. Louis - FAQ
How do I sell my structured settlement in St. Louis?
Ask for a free quote first. It comes with the discount rate disclosed in writing, so the pricing is on the table before you decide. You sign by DocuSign or with a notary at no charge, the partner legal team files your petition in the 22nd Judicial Circuit, and funds are released about 3 business days after approval.
How long does Missouri court approval take?
Plan for about 60 days from signed agreement to funded account. Missouri requires 20 days advance notice to all interested parties before the hearing, and independent professional advice must be completed as well. Those requirements, along with the circuit court's docket, define nearly the entire timeline.
Where will my St. Louis hearing be held?
At the Civil Courts Building, 10 N Tucker Blvd, home of the 22nd Judicial Circuit. Because St. Louis is an independent city, your case stays in the city's own circuit rather than going to the county courthouse in Clayton. The hearing itself is short and centers on your best interest.
Do I pay taxes on a lump sum in Missouri?
In most cases, no. Federal law makes personal physical injury settlement payments tax-free, and courts have held that the character of those payments carries through a sale, so the lump sum generally arrives with the same tax-free treatment. Review your specific settlement with a CPA, since components like interest can be treated differently.
