Complimentary Annuity Review

Have You Been Wondering...

  • It’s been years since anyone reviewed your annuity.
  • You’re not sure how your annuity actually works.
  • Your retirement plans have changed since you purchased it.
  • If there are benefits or options you’ve forgotten about.
  • You simply want a second opinion from someone who isn’t trying to sell you something.

If any of these sound familiar, you’re not alone. That’s exactly why we created The Annuity Checkup.

No cost. No obligation. Conducted by a licensed financial advisor.

As a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional with more than 30 years of experience, I’ve helped clients navigate changing markets, evolving financial products, and important retirement decisions.

An annuity review is an opportunity to understand what you own, how it is performing, and whether it still aligns with your long-term goals.

My goal is to provide clear, objective guidance so you can make informed decisions with confidence.

My mission is simple.

When I started working with retirees, I noticed a pattern. Many people had purchased an annuity years earlier, filed the paperwork away, and never looked at it again. I created The Annuity Checkup because I believe every annuity owner deserves to understand what they own and have someone they can trust to answer their questions.

No pressure. No obligation. Just an honest review.

Why Review Your Annuity

Your retirement changed. Your contract didn’t.

An annuity is often purchased at one moment in life and then quietly set aside. In the years that follow, a great deal can change, retirement dates, income needs, health, family, and the people you intend to provide for.

A periodic review is simply a chance to look at the contract again with fresh eyes. Together we can go over how your annuity works, what riders or income features it includes, who is listed as your beneficiary, and what options are available to you today.

Sometimes a review confirms that everything is in good order. Sometimes it surfaces a detail worth discussing. Either way, you finish the conversation understanding what you own.

What We Review

Three areas we walk through together

01

Contract Review

Review important contract details, riders, surrender schedule, and beneficiary information.

02

Performance & Features

Discuss current crediting methods, available options, and contract features.

03

Retirement Alignment

Evaluate whether the annuity continues to support your long term retirement goals.

A review is educational. Replacing an annuity is not always appropriate, and any discussion of alternatives considers the features and costs of the contract you already own.
