Kauai County Structured Attorney Fees: Why Deferral Costs Millions, Even After Taxes
Imagine the lush landscapes of Kauai County, where the serene beauty of the Garden Isle meets the complexities of financial decision-making. You’ve just triumphed in a major legal case, securing a $1 million contingency fee. A structured settlement broker suggests deferring your fee into a “tax-advantaged” annuity. It sounds appealing, especially when surrounded by the tranquil beaches and verdant mountains of Kauai, but is it truly the wisest financial choice? 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® (CFP®) professional to analyze the numbers before making a decision.
The True Cost of Deferral
Consider this: you’re in the top federal tax bracket of 37%. On a $1 million fee, that equates to a $370,000 tax bill if taken as a lump sum. While the tax hit may sting, let’s compare the outcomes of 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 disparity is striking. Even after paying $370,000 in taxes, you could end up with $1-1.9 million more by taking the lump sum and investing it! Over 30 years at an 8% return, 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. Should you need funds for a lucrative investment or an 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? With a deferred fee, your money is locked up, limiting your flexibility.
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 across different account types
- Harvest tax losses to offset gains
- Capitalize on the lower long-term capital gains rate
A skilled CFP® professional, particularly a Certified Private Wealth Advisor® (CPWA®) professional, can help you craft a far more tax-efficient strategy than the blunt deferral method.
The Hidden Fees
One last pitfall of deferral is 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 an 8% return! 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 CFP® 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.
