A structured settlement annuity is a fundamental option in personal injury settlement planning because it offers guaranteed income for life or for a specified period. This income can be further enhanced with guaranteed lump-sum payments or market-based cash flows.


A structured settlement annuity helps mitigate the risk of outliving your savings, no matter how long you live.


The amount you receive can be customized and is guaranteed from a well capitalized life insurance company.  You can have one or more payment streams and types of structured settlement payment streams.


With a structured settlement annuity your income is locked in regardless of the ups and downs of the financial markets, By allocating part of your settlement help cover future living expenses through monthly income checks or electronic deposits, it may make it easier for you to stay on budget, and helps to ensure you you have money for basic needs, and depending on the size of settlement, r whatever lifestyle amount you need.
