A Structured Settlement Agreement is a specialized legal instrument used in South Africa when parties wish to resolve a claim or dispute through periodic payments rather than a lump sum settlement. This type of agreement is particularly valuable in cases involving personal injury, disability claims, or substantial financial settlements where long-term financial security is crucial. The document must comply with South African legislation, including the Income Tax Act 58 of 1962 and the Long-term Insurance Act 52 of 1998. It typically involves insurance companies or financial institutions that provide annuities to fund the settlement payments. The agreement includes comprehensive provisions for payment structure, tax implications, inflation adjustments, and beneficiary rights, making it suitable for complex settlements requiring long-term financial planning and management.
