Brazoria County Structured Attorney Fees: Why Deferral Costs Millions, Even After Taxes

You’ve just achieved a significant victory in court, securing a $1 million contingency fee. The structured settlement broker suggests deferring your fee into a “tax-advantaged” annuity. It sounds appealing, but is it truly the optimal financial decision? For most attorneys, even those in the highest tax bracket, the answer is a resounding no. Here’s why savvy trial lawyers collaborate with a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional to analyze the numbers before making a decision.

The True Cost of Deferral

Imagine you’re in the top federal tax bracket of 37%. On a $1 million fee, that translates to a $370,000 tax bill if you take it as a lump sum. That’s a hefty amount. However, let’s compare investing the remaining $630,000 versus deferring the full $1 million over 20 years:

Scenario 1: Invest $630K Lump Sum

  • 6% annual return: $2.0 million in 20 years
  • 8% annual return: $2.9 million in 20 years

Scenario 2: Defer $1M as $50K/Year for 20 Years

  • Total payments: $1 million
  • Net result after 20 years: $1 million

The difference is striking. Even after paying $370,000 in taxes, you end up with $1-1.9 million more by taking the lump sum and investing it! And the benefits only increase over time. Over 30 years at 8%, the lump sum grows to $6.4 million after tax, compared to just $1.5 million with deferral.

Lost Opportunity and Liquidity

Beyond the sheer wealth gap, a lump sum provides invaluable liquidity and leverage. Need funds for a lucrative investment or unexpected expense? You can access a securities-based loan. Banks typically won’t lend against deferred fees. Want to adjust your investments or estate plan? Unfortunately, your money is locked up with deferral.

More Tax-Efficient Growth

What about the “tax-free growth” that structured settlement companies promote? With strategic planning, you can significantly outperform deferral after tax:

  • Maximize contributions to pre-tax retirement plans for tax-deferred growth
  • Contribute after-tax dollars to a Roth IRA for tax-free growth
  • Allocate assets tax-efficiently among different account types
  • Harvest tax losses to offset gains
  • Take advantage of the lower long-term capital gains rate

A skilled CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional, especially a Certified Private Wealth Advisor® professional, can help you devise a far more tax-smart approach than the blunt deferral method.

The Hidden Fees

Here’s another pitfall of deferral: hidden commissions. Structured settlement brokers often take 4% or more off the top. On a $1 million fee, that’s $40,000 of your money lost—an amount that could grow to $452,593 over 30 years at 8%! In contrast, you can invest your lump sum in low-cost index funds for a fraction of the fees.

Don’t Defer Without Professional Analysis

Before considering a structured settlement proposal, engage an experienced CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER® professional to model your unique scenario. Chances are, you’ll find that the compounding effect of investing your after-tax lump sum far outweighs any perceived benefits of deferral—even in the highest tax bracket.

If you’d like a personalized professional assessment of an upcoming fee decision, contact us today to see how we can help you maximize your hard-earned wealth.
