When it comes to selling your structured settlements, one of the most important steps is having access to a Structured Settlement Calculator. Generally speaking, the first thing that you need to do is visit a website that provides calculators for various legal cases, such as selling structured settlements and selling tax liens. Typically, the site will ask for information about the type of settlement you are trying to sell, so it is very important to fill out the form accurately and thoroughly.

The type of information that you need to provide include the name and address of your creditors, the dates when you received payment, and the total amount that you have paid in your settlement every month. The next step is to provide the types of payments you have made, which include regular monthly payments, lump sum payments, installments, or a combination of both.

If you find that the various calculators you use to determine the amount that you can expect to receive, are not accurate, you can try getting a copy of the original agreement between the parties involved, which is known as a Claim Entry Agreement. If this does not help, there are other websites that offer the Claim Entry Agreement, along with the same type of calculators that you will need.

Another important piece of information that you should provide for a structured settlement calculator is the amount of the payments that you have made in the past and the average number of payments per month that you have made. The last section of the form will be where you input any information that will help determine the value of your structured settlements. If you are a beneficiary or recipient of the settlement, the information that you provide will be critical because this is information that you cannot be removed from before it is sold.

Typically, you are given an amount that you can expect to receive after paying off your lump sum, if you choose to go that route. You can expect to receive a lower amount if you choose to sell your settlement on a tax lien, but you will usually receive a higher value when selling your settlement on your own.

Once you have completed filling out the form completely, the website will provide you with the results, along with the details about the settlement that they have generated. Once you have reviewed the results, you can decide what you think is the right amount of money for your settlement, and whether or not you are willing to sell it on your own. Before you proceed with selling your settlement, make sure to consider the advantages and disadvantages, and weigh your options, especially if you have been receiving lower payments in recent years.
