You’ll remain eligible for future distributions—but the process may take several years, with payouts spaced out and tied to litigation outcomes, asset recovery, and the efficiency and effectiveness of trust administration. Holding exposes you to risks such as administrative cost overruns that eat into recoveries and other adverse events (e.g., hacking and security breaches) that may erode estate value.

Although you may have just received a partial distribution, the additional distributions could take more time. Selling your stub claim allows you to cash out on the present value of those future expected distributions now. Depending on your financial objectives, capturing that value through a sale could help you free up capital today for other investments and needs. Selling also eliminates the risks associated with collecting distributions over a multi-year period.

‍

Stub claims refer to claims that have already received at least one distribution but expect to receive additional distributions in the future.

While we focus on cases with existing buyer interest, we cannot guarantee that you will receive an offer or that a buyer will agree to purchase your claim. Interest in claims is highly dependent on individual claim attributes.
