Structured Settlement in Arkansas

Under Arkansas law, a structured settlement transfer requires court approval, and the petition must be filed at least 3 days before the hearing date. This timing is set out in Ark. Code Ann. § 23-81-701 to § 23-81-708, which governs the entire approval process. The statute establishes the procedural requirements a transferee must satisfy before a court may authorize a transfer of payment rights. The 3-day filing window ensures the payee and any interested parties have adequate notice and opportunity to respond. The law also provides substantive criteria the court must consider when deciding whether to approve the transfer. For the exact filing steps and statutory factors, consult the official source. The calculator below estimates potential outcomes based on the statutory framework.
