			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Settlement advances are are relatively new financial vehicle designed to get money to injured victims set to pursue a lawsuit, they can get the money now while waiting for the legal process to play out. In a lot of different cases the injured can&#8217;t afford to continue with legal obligations and loss of income during the settlement process. A settlement advance is a review of your case in order to determine if you qualify for an advance on your income.</p>
<p>You need to apply for a settlement advance and this is accomplished with a few questions about you, the amount of money you make each year the lawyer fees you are currently paying, who your legal representation actually is and your side of the case. Because they only make money if you win the case they will not require a credit check. This may be of benefit as it is usually another timely step in the process.</p>
<p>In order to receive a consideration for settlement advance you need to allow disclosure of your case to the advancement company. Most legal representation are happy to accommodate this request as they know it means they are more likely to get their payment in a timely manner. It is always better to get a legal team who offers not to charge you unless you win the case, as this can alleviate your own financial burdens.</p>
<p>If they feel there is a chance for you to win they will make you an offer. The offer is a combination of the risk of you losing the case and a small portion of how desperate for the money they think you are. You will be shocked here, they will generally want in the range of 18 &#8211; 30% APR on the money they loan you.</p>
<p>If you decide to take the money remember you&#8217;re getting more than an advance. You now have a backup team for your legal firm. This company is now vested in you winning and they will have their legal staff review documents from you lawyer, ensure you lawyer is doing all of his work properly, and even suggest better lawyers for you. That is a good feeling.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Settlements for funding prearranged financial restitutions were created to allow people to reset their lives after a traumatic experience.  Originally in this country people would become indentured servants to make similar restitution, and today while lending a hand to help a friend may be nice it doesn&#8217;t account for those people wronged by gross negligence.  This is the basic function of a structured settlement.</p>
<p>Today structured settlements are typically awarded in a court room setting.  There are various scenarios whereby someone is awarded a settlement; including but not limited to; lawsuit settlements, insurance annuities, retirement annuities and more.  You can either buy structured settlements, or have them awarded to you by the legal system.  While there are many ways in which a settlement can be awarded there are some commonalities in the process by which they are set up.</p>
<p>Settlements are arrangements financially that allow someone to give financial restitution over time to someone they have wronged.  They are set up so that the company making the payments can pay the individual over time rather than be responsible to pay it out all at once, if the later were the case it would ruin the company financially.  These payouts can be structured in a variety of payment options, they can payout monthly, quarterly or yearly or a combination of all those things.  The determining factor of the payout is the individuals needs.</p>
<p>The funding is really complex and involves the use of several different financial vehicles.  A settlement needs to be funded by another financial vehicle that pays out consistently, and interest of investments is just not going to cut it, neither would company net income.  In a similar sense if you agree to give your brother $200 a month to help with school, you won&#8217;t pay him $2,400 to cover him for the year &#8211; that would be a lot of coin.  Instead you pay him the $200 a month, but you can only do this if you have the money coming in.  In a larger sense there are few financial systems that pay out each month consistently; life insurance premiums are one of them.</p>
<p>Often times people find themselves in a situation where they need to sell their settlement in order to meet other financial responsibilities, like debt.  While it wouldn&#8217;t be wise to use a guaranteed income to pay off a short term debt it may be wise to use the money to buy a home, or make student tuition payments.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>There are a lot of companies that buy structured settlements because they have arranged a profit method that benefits all involved.  A lot of times individuals do not want to receive just $100 a month for thirty years.  Over the course of their lives they will hardly see this as a financial benefit.</p>
<p>The investment company knows that after inflation is adjusted the settlement will be worth almost thirty thousand dollars.  But they know if they tell you they will give you a nice round number like $10,000 you will be ecstatic.  After all would you rather have $100 a month for thirty years or ten thousand dollars right now? For the company buying the settlement over the course of the life of your structured agreement they will earn an excess of 12% on their money.</p>
<p>What makes the purchase of a structured settlement does for the company is allow them to package the settlement into a bond in order to eliminate risk and maximize profits.  They take the bond for which they made a 12% return projected and will offer it in a bond offering 5%, pretty standard for a bond.  After they get your settlement and mix it into another bond fund they sell it again allowing them to get the debt they paid to you off their books.  After doing this they simply pocket the interest difference, buy it making 12% sell it making 5% and you gain 7%.</p>
<p>Settlement companies can subsidize their income by purchasing life insurance policies from people who are terminally ill or very elderly.  Sometimes this can be a pretty shady industry but the holy cause has some nobility to it.  In order for you to qualify to have the insurance policy purchased you need to be over 65 and then have a face value of the policy in excess of $250,000.  In the end oyu will receive roughly 40 cents for every dollar your policy is worth.</p>
<p>The person who purchases your insurance is responsible to make the monthly payments while you get to enjoy the money paid out to you.  After an individual dies the owner of your life insurance policy now receives the remaining amount of the policy.  This can be a great way for you to get more money now in the closing years of your life.</p>
