Abstract
Qualified settlement funds (QSFs) are flexible and tax advantaged vehicles and for that reason, it’s hard to think of a reason not to form one as civil litigation winds down. Wood suggests 10 reasons not to form a QSF, hoping that reverse psychology will propel many naysayers to use QSFs to help resolve disputes, facilitate structured settlements, and regularize the conclusion of litigation.
