Sell My Structured Settlement in Pennsylvania

Court approval is required for all structured settlement transfers in Pennsylvania. The court must find the transfer is in your best interest under 40 Pa. Stat. § 4001 et seq.

In practice, Pennsylvania judges weigh why you need the money, how the price compares to the payments you are giving up, whether dependents rely on the payments, and whether you understand the terms. Independent professional advice is required before the court hearing. Arriving with a written quote that discloses the discount rate makes that conversation straightforward.

Pennsylvania specifics: Pennsylvania requires full disclosure of the discount rate, net advance amount, and all fees.

Sell everything or only part. Many Pennsylvania sellers transfer a few years of payments and keep the rest of the schedule. Courts tend to view tailored, partial transfers favorably because they solve the immediate need while preserving income.

Other payment types. Pennsylvania residents can also sell annuity payments and lottery installments, each with its own process and timeline.

Pennsylvania requires 20 days advance notice to all interested parties, and transfers typically clear court in about 60 days. Once the judge signs the order, funding is typically sent within 3 business days by our funding partner.

Questions or concerns along the way can also be raised with the Pennsylvania Attorney General - Bureau of Consumer Protection, Pennsylvania's consumer protection resource.
