Did You Know?
Money in the future is worth less than money today.
To think of it in simple terms, if you loaned a person $1000 today and they said they would return the $1000 in 10 years. You lose all the value of today's money and future interest if you invested the $1000 in your savings account over the same 10 years. Also inflation and prices of almost everything increases in 10 years. There is also the risk if the person will pay it back and on time.
So you would not be able to buy as much with that $1000 that would be returned in 10 years. So $25,000 paid in 50 payments of $500 per month for next 4 years, may be worth today $18,506.44 +- or less. There is also the un measurable factor of "Needing a large amount of money now". To get super technical if your up for it you can read an economics presentation outline from the University of Wisconsin with examples of present value and the value of money. Read More >

Structured Settlement New York State Laws5-1706. Approval of transfers of structured settlement payment rights. No direct or indirect transfer of structured settlement payment rights shall be effective and no structured settlement obligor or annuity issuer shall be required to make any payment directly or indirectly to any transferee of structured settlement payment rights unless the transfer has been authorized in advance in a final order of a court of competent jurisdiction based upon express findings by such court that: (a) the transfer complies with the requirements of this title; (b) the transfer is in the best interest of the payee, taking into account the welfare and support of the payee's dependants; and whether the transaction, including the discount rate used to determine the gross advance amount and the fees and expenses used to determine the net advance amount, are fair and reasonable. Provided the court makes the findings as outlined in this subdivision, there is no requirement for the court to find that an applicant is suffering from a hardship to approve the transfer of structured settlement payments under this subdivision; (c) the payee has been advised in writing by the transferee to seek independent professional advice regarding the transfer and has either received such advice or knowingly waived such advice in writing; (d) the transfer does not contravene any applicable statute or the order of any court or other government authority; and (e) is written in plain language and in compliance with section 5-702 of this article. * See more and actual structured settlement statutes at New York State government law site pages
