How does a structured settlement buyout work?

A structured settlement buyout is a way to exchange regular payments of a large amount into a single lump sum. The lump sum is always significantly smaller than the total of all of the payments, but some people may want or need a large amount of money immediately rather than smaller recurring payments. People who are willing to take the loss in exchange for the lump sum can contact a financial services company that deals with settlement buyouts. This company then arranges to receive the payments, and gives the customer the lump sum in exchange.
