Settlement Trusts
Turn a One-Time Settlement Into Long-Term Security
Settlement trusts protect and professionally manage lawsuit proceeds—especially for minors, but available for adults as well—so the funds support the recipient responsibly over time rather than being paid out all at once.
Overview
A proven way to safeguard settlement proceeds for the people who need them most.
Settlement trusts are an essential tool for recipients of lawsuit settlements who need to protect and manage settlement funds responsibly. By placing settlement proceeds in a trust, families can ensure assets are professionally managed and distributed as needed over time rather than paid out all at once.
A well-designed settlement trust shields funds from mismanagement, provides ongoing support for injury-related needs and future expenses, and allows the funds inside the trust to be prudently invested. Amicus Law Firm guides clients through every step of the trust creation process, tailoring each strategy to the unique needs of the recipient and their family.
Why a Settlement Trust
Built for the realities of receiving a settlement.
Protect against mismanagement
Funds are held and distributed under professional oversight—not paid out in a single lump sum that's easy to lose.
Prudent, ongoing investment
Settlement assets inside the trust can be invested thoughtfully to support the recipient for years to come.
Tailored to the family
Each trust is structured around the recipient's specific injuries, future expenses, and family dynamics.
