Structured Settlement in Indiana

Indiana’s structured settlement protection laws, found in Ind. Code § 34-50-2-1 through § 34-50-2-12, require court approval before a structured settlement payment right can be transferred. The statute sets out the conditions a court must consider to ensure the transfer is in the payee’s best interest and does not harm the payee or their dependents. The law also provides exceptions and procedural requirements for such transfers. The exact criteria and obligations are detailed in the official source at the Indiana General Assembly website. A worked example below illustrates how the approval process applies under the statute. Use the calculator to estimate whether your own transfer would meet the statutory standard.
