New York Simple Order for a Structured Settlement (With Instructions) is a legal document used to create a structured settlement agreement between parties in the State of New York. It is often used when settling a personal injury claim or other type of claim for damages where the claimant wishes to receive periodic payments rather than a lump sum. The document includes detailed instructions to make the process of structuring the settlement easier for all involved. The instructions include how to complete and file the document, how to obtain the required court approval, and when and how to make payments. There are two types of New York Simple Order for a Structured Settlement (With Instructions): one for approved structured settlements, and one for approved structured settlement annuities. The approved structured settlements version is used when the parties have agreed to a settlement amount and payment schedule, while the approved structured settlement annuities version is used when the payments will be made as an annuity.
