A very common question is ‘How long does it take to make a structured settlement sale and get my money?’ Circumstances vary so no one can give you an exact time frame. However, most brokers offer a very fast turn-around time: as fast as the capabilities of their office permit. Structured settlement loans are an option in the meantime. It is important to point out that much of the process depends on local laws as well as the willingness of the seller’s insurance company to cooperate in the sale. Legal hassles or foot-dragging on the part of the insurance company may slow the sale, but most setbacks in a sale are typical, and are normally overcome by the buyer. Once the selling process is started, it is typically completed within 4 - 16 weeks, with most people receiving their money within eight.
