I am often asked what is Independent Professional Advice? You have probably been told that you need to get Independent Professional Advice if you want to sell your right to receive payments due to you under a structured settlement. A structured settlement is a way to settle a lawsuit, typically a personal injury claim, without giving all of the money to the plaintiff – call the annuitant in the structured settlement – at once. Typically, a structured settlement says that an annuitant will receive certain amounts on a monthly basis, or in a certain year. For example, a structured settlement might call for the annuitant to receive monthly monthly payments of X dollars and annual payments of Y dollars, and lump-sum payments of Z dollars every five years until the total amount of the settlement is paid in full.

In addition to satisfying a number of other requirements, the annuitant must obtain Independent Professional Advice – or IPA, for short. IPA is advice that the annuitant receives from a an independent professional advisor (usually an attorney, accountant, or financial advisor) about the legal, tax, financial, and other implications of the sale of your right to receive structured settlement payments.
