Who can get their money paid out at 18?

Some clients can get all their funds (money) paid out to them when they are 18 years old. If you don’t know if you’re able to get your money paid out when you are 18, please contact us.

Before your money can be paid out to you, we need to know you will be able to manage the lump sum of money by yourself. We may check this by having a Client Liaison Officer talk to you.

How do you apply to have all your money paid out to you?

You need to apply to the Court to get your money paid out. This is a two-step process. You need to fill in an application form and then we will send you a statutory declaration for you to complete.

Please let your Client Services Officer or the Payment Out at 18 team know if your contact details change. We need your current contact details to send you these documents.

You do not need to come into our office or go to Court to get your money.
