Structured Settlement Laws in Alaska

Yes — under Alaska's Structured Settlement Protection Act (SSPA), transfers are allowed with court approval.

When selling structured settlement payments in Alaska, understanding the specific legal requirements and court approval process is essential for a successful transfer. The state's structured settlement protection act, Alaska Stat. §§ 09.65.300 to 09.65.340, establishes the framework for transfers, including mandatory court review, disclosure requirements, and consumer protections. These laws ensure that any transfer of structured settlement payment rights is carefully evaluated to protect the payee's financial interests and comply with both state and federal regulations.

The court approval process in Alaska requires a thorough review of the transfer terms, the payee's financial circumstances, and whether the transfer serves the payee's best interests. This protective framework helps ensure that settlement holders make informed decisions and receive fair compensation for their payment rights. Working with experienced settlement purchasing companies and qualified legal counsel familiar with Alaska's specific requirements can help streamline the approval process and ensure all legal obligations are met efficiently.
