Was Julius G. domiciled in the State of Florida at the time that a Final Order Approving transfer of his structured settlement payment rights ? 
The Final Order at #10 states that the transfer agreement provides that if the payee is domiciled in this state, any disputes between the parties will be governed by the laws of this state and that the domicile state of the payee is the proper venue to bring any cause of action arising out of the breach of the agreement.
In our ongoing investigation into possible structured settlement transfer forum shopping, we have become curious as a result of learning that at the time of the petition and May 3, 2011. the date the structured settlement transfer order was signed by Broward County Judge Mily Rodriguez-Powell, Julius G. had an active Michigan identification card that expired June 22, 2013, with a Detroit Michigan address. I have a copy of this Michigan ID.
Qualified Assignee: Harcourt General Annuity Service Corporation
Annuity Issuer: Genworth Life and Annuity Company
Both the Petitioner and the Assignee of the purchased payments* are currently members of the National Association of Settlement Purchasers (NASP).
*Note that this is different from the qualified assignment company that own the annuity in most structured settlement transactions. In the secondary market, concurrent with the purchase of structured settlement payment rights, a "settlement purchaser" may assign the ownership of the transferred structured settlement payment rights to an investor, which could be an individual or entity.
Section 626.99296(3) of the Florida statutes provides that the approval of a structured settlement transfer is conditioned upon the transfer complying with the Florida Structured Settlement Act and that such transfer does not contravene any applicable law.
