Will Easy Legal Finance fund structured settlements?
Structured settlements were introduced by the Government of Canada, to invest settlement monies, on behalf of those made vulnerable by injuries, in something that is not likely to be lost prematurely.
These settlements are available, upon the consent of the casualty insurance company or by court order, and are purchased by the casualty insurance company on behalf of the claimant. They are only available at the time of settlement.
As they are non-assignable, non-commutable and non-transferable by law, Easy Legal Finance cannot loan against these investments.
