Giving you an exact timeline this transaction is not possible without having reviewed your case and studied what kind of payments you own. This is especially true since this purchase depends on the individual court approval in your jurisdiction. Generally, sales transactions take four to six weeks from the moment your contract and documents are received; the court hearing is what takes more time during this process. Keep in mind, the professionals will work diligently and adequately to obtain approval to purchase your payments as quickly as possible. Important Note: Selling the full value of your annuity contract liquidates your asset. This eliminates all future income payments being sent to you.
