Settlement Allocator in Alabama

In Alabama, a settlement allocator determines the division of a settlement among multiple claimants or lienholders under the framework of Ala. R. Civ. P. 23 and Ala. Code § 6-5-640 et seq. The rule requires a court-approved allocation process, with a verified administrative fee of 7.5% applied to the total settlement amount before distribution. The allocator evaluates each party’s interest based on factors set out in the governing statutes and rules. The official source at https://judicial.alabama.gov/docs/library/rules/cv23.pdf provides the exact criteria and exceptions. A worked example below demonstrates the calculation using the 7.5% fee.
