Other services.

While structured settlements are at the core of what we do, NSC also supports attorneys and their clients with a range of related financial planning services.

We take the time to present and clearly explain all available options, empowering clients to make well-informed decisions tailored to their unique needs. If a particular service or product falls outside of what we directly provide, we don’t leave clients on their own — we connect them with trusted, well-qualified professionals who can help. Our role is to ensure that every aspect of the settlement process — and the financial planning that surrounds it — is handled with care, clarity, and the right expertise.

Trusts

We coordinate the setup and administration of trusts tailored to your clients’ financial and legal needs, including:

  • Special Needs Trusts (SNTs) – Preserve government benefit eligibility while enhancing quality of life

  • Settlement Protection Trusts – Provide long-term oversight and creditor protection

  • Medicare Set-Aside Trusts (MSAs) – Ensure compliance with Medicare Secondary Payer rules

NSC works with reputable trust administrators and assists in trustee selection, funding logistics, and client education.

Preserving Government Benefits

For clients receiving needs-based government assistance, such as Supplemental Security Income (SSI) or Medicaid, proper planning is essential to avoid disrupting eligibility.

We work closely with attorneys and clients to ensure settlement funds are structured to protect access to these benefits. This may include:

  • Structured settlements

  • Medicare Set-Asides (MSAs)

  • Special Needs Trusts

We also assist with reporting requirements and collaborate with benefits specialists as needed to maintain compliance with all relevant regulations.

Attorney Fee Structures

Structured attorney fees offer a powerful opportunity for short- and long-term financial planning — and at NSC, we’re committed to helping attorneys fully understand and maximize this tool.

We work with attorneys to:

  • Educate you on available fee structuring options

  • Present customized payout models based on your goals

  • Refine and revise options as needed for clarity and comfort

From traditional lump-sum payments to structured deferrals, we guide you through the pros and cons of each option, helping you choose what best fits your financial goals and risk tolerance.

Our goal is simple: to empower you to make a fully informed decision about one of the most valuable financial tools available to attorneys.
