The amusing thing is, the money is put into structures like that by judges because the people are fucking idiots with money as is. It is a means to prevent morons from going on spending binges.
not neccessarily.
Wtf are you talking about.
Money is not just put into an annuities by judges on a daily basis,You have to prove the person is mentally deficient and unable to care for themselves.
Being bad with money is not a grounds for a judge to step in and take your money away and put it into an annuity.If that were the case 75% of this country would have what little net worth they have locked up in annuities.
In cases of a judgement in a civil suit it is because the loser of the case may not have the means to pay the lump sum at once and thus must make monthly or yearly payments to the winner.
OR
In case of a will which when written the children are not even born or a very small how the fuck do they know that there kids are idiots. It is the Parents not a judge who dictates how the money is paid out.
OR
If people win the lottery and choose annuity(for reasons unto themselves) they will get a yearly check.They may for reasons they decide need to accelerate payments.

In the case of an actual annuity where say someone is getting 2k a month for life. But they need to pay medical bills,or buy a home or invest in a business oppurtunity they can convert all or part of their annuity.
Companies like JG Wentworth have been around for a long long time.
Depending on the amount you want to convert into a lump sum,the total amount of the annuity itself and the source of the annuity funding. These companies take between 25-55%.
It all depends on the risk because they are essentially loaning you the money with you/your annuity promising to pay it back.
