Depending upon the specifics of a settlement for a minor child, it may be advisable for the settlement proceeds to be used to fund a structured settlement. The factors that determine whether a person should seriously consider a structured settlement are the age of the minor and the amount of the settlement. It should be noted that there is no cost to our minor client for arranging a structured settlement.
When settlement proceeds are placed in a restricted bank account, the interest rates that banks offer are quite low. On the other hand, the structured settlement can allow for a greater rate of return. Additionally, payouts can be at predetermined and court approved intervals, such as ages 18, 21, 25, and 30. This also has the further benefit of not entrusting an 18 year old to a large sum of money.
