Maryland Structured Settlement Transferee Bond
Overview
Buying structured settlement payment rights in Maryland? You need a Maryland Structured Settlement Transferee Bond before a court will approve the transfer. This bond protects the payee — the individual selling those future payments — by guaranteeing that you, as the transferee, will fulfill your obligations under the transfer agreement. Maryland courts require it as a condition of approving any structured settlement transfer petition.
Who Needs This Bond?
Picture this: you've negotiated a deal to purchase future structured settlement payments from a Maryland resident, and now you're filing the court petition to make it official. Any company or individual acting as a structured settlement transferee in Maryland and seeking court approval of a payment rights transfer must obtain this bond. It is not an optional step — the court will not approve your petition without it. If your business routinely purchases structured settlement payment rights, expect to carry this bond as a standing requirement.
What is this Bond For?
This bond exists to protect the structured settlement payee from financial harm caused by the transferee's failure to perform under the approved transfer agreement. It guarantees that the transferee will honor the terms the court has approved, including making any required payments back to the payee or complying with court-ordered conditions. If the transferee defaults or acts improperly, the payee has a financial backstop through the bond. Maryland courts use this mechanism to create accountability for businesses profiting from the purchase of settlement payment streams.
When is it Required?
This bond must be in hand before the court will approve your structured settlement transfer petition — it is a condition precedent to court approval, not an afterthought. You cannot close the transaction, take assignment of the payment rights, or legally begin receiving settlement payments until the judge signs off, and that approval depends on having the bond filed. Do not wait until the hearing date to secure it. Get the bond before you file so it is ready to present to the court when required.
Where Does it Apply?
This bond is a Maryland statewide requirement, applying to any structured settlement transfer proceeding filed in a Maryland court. It is not a city or county-level obligation — it governs the transaction wherever in the state the petition is filed. The bond obligation follows the court proceeding and the parties named in the approved transfer agreement.
