Legal Question in Wills and Trusts in Florida
My name is Krissa. I had 3 structed settlements when I turned 18 years old, 21 years old, and 25 years old. 18 years old, I got $10,000. 21 years old, $15,000. and 25 years old, $25,000. I already got my 10,000 check and took out my 25,000 check back in 2013. Heres the 21st birthday drama; I was in the process of getting it out early. I went to the hospital for a few days. I asked my mother about my 15,000 check that I was suppose to get out early and she said I was suppose to be in the court room to get it. Well, I never received a check on my 21st birthday and believed her that there wasnt no 21st birthday check. I did call the company that handled my lawsuit and they said it was taken out in 2011. LIke I said before, I was in the hospital when my mom told me I had to go to the courthouse. What can I do now? My mom's on disability and I want my money back !! I can show proof that I was in the hospital around the time I was suppose to get the check. Will I be able to get the money back? Or no? Since she's on disability?

Dear Krissa,
I am familiar with structured settlement s like the situation your described and there is something wrong with the fact that the structured settlement wasn't paid to you.In most situations the company or law firm disburses the money to you since they have a contract to pay you (normally the want to have you sign a receipt that you are receiving the payment before giving it to you ) to satisfy their obligation to make the payment. If you would like me to review the situation I would need to email me the information you have about the case and give me a limited authorization to get the records.If you would like my assistance email me at [email protected] or call me to discuss at 5615021297.

You need to provide your paperwork to an appropriate attorney to review. You were an adult when the funds were to be paid and you should have received it whether or not your receipt was delayed by your hospital visit. Did your mom receive and convert the funds is that what happened? Did she have your authority to do this? Too many unanswered questions. Seek some legal guidance.
