The Center for Settlement Consultants provides Qualified Settlement Fund drafting and administration services. Our QSFs allow plaintiff attorneys to settle a case for cash while still maintaining the claimant’s rights to purchase a settlement annuity and receive tax-free treatment on future benefits without violating the Constructive Receipt Doctrine. We have assembled a staff of QSF experts that work diligently and efficiently to maximize the satisfaction of the claimant’s awards.

QSFs must comply with these guidelines:

  • Must be established under an order of, or approved by, a governmental authority (including a court) and is subject to the continuing jurisdiction of that governmental authority.
  • Must be established to resolve or satisfy one or more contested or uncontested claims arising from an event or series of events that has occurred and that has given rise to at least one claim asserting liability.
  • It is a trust under applicable state law or its assets are segregated from other assets of the transferor or a related person.
