If you or someone you know is considering selling a structured settlement, you might be a little overwhelmed by all the terms and jargon associated with this industry.

Unless you are a financial guru or an attorney, this is fairly common and easy to remedy. Obviously if you’re reading this, you’re already on the right path. Without question, there are extremely complex terms associated with selling a structured settlement. As such, it is always in your best interest to seek professional advice before, during, and after you consider selling your structured settlement.

While some of the potential buyers you will be working with will throw these terms around like everyday language, this may be new to you. Please do not let these terms intimidate you. Taking the time to learn and understand some of the more common terms will hopefully provide a more level playing field and allow you to feel more prepared during the process.

Throughout the course of this series we’re going to discuss four main terms that are commonly associated with selling a structured settlement. Although there are many terms that may be unfamiliar to you, the following are the terms that we have identified that will have a significant impact on the final amount of money you can expect to receive as a result of selling all or a portion of your settlement:

o Time Value of Money
