Quick Answer
Quick Answer: Can You Sell Your Structured Settlements in Washington?
Yes. Washington residents can sell some or all of their future structured settlement payments for a lump sum of cash. A District of Columbia judge reviews every sale under D.C. Code § 28-6301 et seq., transfers typically complete in about 75 days, and quotes are free with no obligation.
Why Sell Your Structured Settlement in Washington?
The District of Columbia writes its own structured settlement transfer act, D.C. Code § 28-6301, and runs it through its own bench. Every sale of future payments by a District resident must be approved by a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, the District's trial court, after a finding that the transfer is in your best interest.
Washington's cost of living is the backdrop for most sales here. A fixed monthly check that would carry a household comfortably elsewhere can disappear into rent, and sellers use lump sums to secure housing, resolve medical bills, eliminate high-interest debt, and put capital into businesses without taking on a loan.
Give the process about 75 days from signed agreement to funding, a little longer than in most states. The DC statute requires 20 days advance notice to all interested parties, independent professional advice before the hearing, and full written disclosure of the discount rate, net advance, and every fee.

Selling Structured Settlements in Washington - FAQ
How do I sell my structured settlement in Washington, DC?
First comes a free quote with the discount rate disclosed in writing, so you can weigh the terms with nothing hidden. You then sign by DocuSign or with a notary at no charge. The partner legal team files your petition with the Superior Court, and funding arrives about 3 business days after the judge approves.
How long does court approval take in the District of Columbia?
Expect about 75 days from signature to funding, somewhat longer than the typical state timeline. The DC code requires 20 days advance notice to all interested parties before your hearing and completion of independent professional advice, and the Superior Court's civil calendar accounts for the balance of the schedule.
Where will my DC hearing take place?
At the H. Carl Moultrie Courthouse, 500 Indiana Ave NW, before a judge of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia, the District's trial-level court. The appearance is brief. Judges want to hear your reasons in your own words and confirm every statutory protection was honored.
What if the Superior Court judge does not approve my sale?
Nothing changes and nothing is owed. Your payments keep arriving on their original schedule, and there are no fees or penalties for a denial. Judges typically explain their reservations on the record, and many petitions succeed on a second attempt after the seller scales the transfer down or better documents the need.
