There are many different and personal reasons why people might decide to sell their annuities. Each person has their motivation for needing to sell their future annuity payments for cash. We’ve all had the experience of feeling, “I need money, and I need it now,” brought on by a sudden financial emergency. These could be car trouble, home improvements, college tuition, medical fees, loss of a job, an investment opportunity, and many other reasons that you might have. There is no set reason to sell annuity payments. There are no regulations or laws that dictate or specific conditions that people should meet to sell. If your intentions are legal, then you have the right to sell. Since you do not have to get a judge’s approval to sell as you do with other payment options, the selling process is much smoother and far less stressful. The US Securities and Exchange Commission has an article regarding buying and selling annuities, which may be beneficial for you. Reference. Topic: cash for annuity payments
