Structured Settlement in Kansas

In Kansas, a structured settlement obligor or annuity issuer must wait at least 3 days after a transfer agreement is signed before making any payment. This cooling-off period is established by the Kansas Structured Settlement Protection Act, codified at K.S.A. § 60-4801 to § 60-4810. The law requires that the payee receives a written disclosure and then has three full calendar days to rescind the agreement without penalty. The statute sets out the specific conditions under which a transfer may proceed, including court approval requirements. Any transfer that fails to observe this waiting period is voidable. The worked example below demonstrates how this 3-day rule applies in practice. Use the DocketMath calculator to estimate your own timeline and payment figures.
