Broker support that fits the legal team’s workflow.
Structured settlement planning is most useful when there is time to understand the client’s priorities, evaluate payment approaches, and coordinate the intended structure with the settlement documents. Rockpoint works with counsel as an educational and brokerage resource throughout that process.
Ramtin can help organize client conversations, illustrate potential payment timing, and explain the role of a qualified assignment. Counsel and the client’s other advisors remain responsible for legal, tax, benefits, trust, and investment advice.
Federal tax treatment turns on the character of the underlying claim and other facts. Section 104 addresses certain damages received on account of personal physical injuries or physical sickness, while Section 130 defines requirements for a qualified assignment. Each matter should be reviewed on its own facts.
