Release 39 Highlights:
Since
structured settlement transfers (aka factoring) first emerged in the
late 1980s and early 1990s, they have been controversial and contested.
Internal Revenue Code Section 5891 and structured settlement protection
statutes in 44 states now provide definitions and procedures for some
structured settlement recipients to sell their rights to receive
periodic payments in exchange for a lump sum payment. Release 39 of Structured Settlements and Periodic Payment Judgments
features a new chapter titled “Transfers of Structured Settlement
Payment Rights” that fully explains the ramifications of these
statutes. New Appendix materials include sample forms reflecting the
recent legislation as well as a glossary of statutory transfer
definitions. Release 39 also expands existing discussions of the following structured settlement transfer topics:
- History of settlement transfers
- Public policy considerations
- Business practices and issues
- Structured settlement protection acts
- Judicial review of transfer applications
