The Role of Due Diligence in Protecting Settlement Funds

Why Due Diligence Matters in Settlement Planning

For fiduciaries managing settlements, ensuring compliance, security, and proper allocation of funds is crucial. Due diligence is the process that protects beneficiaries from financial mismanagement, fraud, and legal complications.

Key Responsibilities of Fiduciaries in Settlement Planning

  1. Financial Assessment – Ensuring the settlement is structured in the best interest of the beneficiary.
  2. Compliance Review – Meeting legal and regulatory requirements for settlement distributions.
  3. Risk Management – Identifying potential financial risks and ensuring funds are safeguarded.
  4. Ongoing Monitoring – Regularly reviewing settlement distributions and adjusting as needed.

Common Risks Without Proper Due Diligence

  • Mismanagement of funds, leading to financial losses for beneficiaries.
  • Legal non-compliance, which can result in lawsuits or financial penalties.
  • Fraudulent schemes, where settlement funds are misused or exploited.
