Settlement Allocator in Georgia
Georgia law sets a maximum fee of 7 percent for a settlement allocator’s services under O.C.G.A. § 9-11-23. This statute governs how a neutral third party may be appointed to allocate settlement proceeds among multiple claimants or interests when the parties cannot agree. The 7 percent cap applies to the total amount allocated, and the statute outlines the allocator’s duties and the process for judicial approval. The official source at Justia provides the full statutory text, including any exceptions or procedural requirements. A worked example below demonstrates how the 7 percent figure is applied in practice. To estimate the allocator fee for your specific settlement, use the calculator on this page.
