Kentucky Structured Settlement Transfer Court Approval Waiting Period

In Kentucky, a structured settlement transfer must be approved by a court after a 10-day waiting period from the date the petition is filed. This requirement is governed by KRS § 454.430 to § 454.435. The law mandates that no court may issue a final order approving a transfer until at least ten days have passed since the payee filed the petition. This pause ensures the payee has time to consider the transaction before judicial approval. The statute also sets out specific factors the court must evaluate before granting approval. The official source provides the complete statutory text. For an estimate of how the rules apply to a particular settlement, the DocketMath calculator can provide a tailored projection.
