Authorized structured settlement annuity specialists in all 50 states
This page is for people who already have—or are directly affected by—a structured settlement annuity and need clarity before making decisions that permanently impact future payments.
Most visitors are here for one of three reasons:
- You receive structured settlement payments and want to understand how they actually work
- You’re considering changes, transfers, or court-approved actions, and want a second opinion first
- You’re a beneficiary, guardian, or family member trying to clarify rights, timing, or survivorship
This is not injury settlement education. This is about what the annuity contract and court order actually allow.
You Must Work With a Licensed Annuity Agent
Structured settlement annuities are insurance contracts governed by state insurance law, court-approved settlement terms, and carrier-specific contract language.
Any explanation, review, or coordination must be done by a licensed annuity agent authorized with the issuing carrier.
The Annuity Expert is licensed in all 50 states and authorized with carriers that issue structured settlement annuities.
That authorization is required to accurately explain payment schedules, restrictions, and survivorship provisions.

We Specialize in Structured Settlement Annuities—Including Legacy Contracts
Structured settlements are often issued decades ago and then misunderstood for years.
We routinely help people who:
- Don’t realize payments are fixed by a court-approved schedule
- Assume structured settlement annuities function like retail annuities—they do not
- Are unclear about what happens at death
- Confuse payment rights with ownership of the annuity
We work with both current and legacy structured settlement annuity contracts, including those issued long ago under older rules.
If you are looking to purchase an income stream rather than sell one, see our current inventory of Secondary Market Annuities
What a Structured Settlement Annuity Really Is
A structured settlement annuity is purchased to fund a legal settlement, not as a personal investment.
Key realities that matter:
- Payment amounts and timing are fixed by settlement terms
- The annuitant usually does not own the annuity contract
- Payments may stop at death or continue to a beneficiary depending on the settlement
- Changes typically require court approval
The issuing insurance company follows the original settlement—not personal preference.
Why Issue Year, Settlement Terms, and Contract Design Matter
With structured settlement annuities, documents control everything.
- Settlement agreements define payment rights
- Annuity contracts execute those terms
- Older settlements may include strict limitations
- Survivor and beneficiary provisions vary widely
Two structured settlements from the same carrier can behave very differently.
Reviewing a Structured Settlement Annuity
If you already receive payments, we help by:
- Explaining exactly how payments are scheduled
- Clarifying what happens at death
- Confirming beneficiary or remainder provisions
- Identifying what actions, if any, are contractually possible
Most mistakes happen when people assume flexibility that does not exist.
Considering Changes or Court Actions
If you’re considering any modification—such as a transfer, reassignment, or court-approved action—we help ensure:
- You understand what the contract and settlement allow
- Consequences to future income are clear
- Survivorship and beneficiary impacts are understood
- No paperwork is submitted without full clarity
Once approved, most changes cannot be reversed.
