Stuck in an annuity? Find out how to get out.
Built to put the annuity owner first.
In a free consultation, we review your situation and show you every way out, what each one would cost and whether there are red flags in how your annuity was sold. Nothing to sell you. No pressure.
Which one sounds like you?
If any of these fit, a free consultation is worth ten minutes of your time.
Stuck isn’t the same as trapped.
The agent who sold it won’t tell you this: most annuities have more exits than owners know about, and some cost nothing. We find every one in your contract and put a dollar figure on each.
- Your exact surrender charge today, and the date it reaches zero
- Penalty-free withdrawal amounts you can use right now
- The full cost of leaving: charges, taxes and any IRS penalty
Your contract, explained in plain English.
Annuity contracts run 40 pages or more. We read every one and tell you what you own, what it costs each year and what it really pays.
- What each rider costs and what it’s really worth
- Why your “benefit base” isn’t cash you can withdraw
- Caps, participation rates and fees, in plain numbers
If it was sold wrong, you may have rights.
Pressured into it? Told it was something it isn’t? Unsuitable and misrepresented sales can be challenged, and some claims have deadlines. Every client gets personal legal representation from an independent licensed law firm.
- Whether the sale fit your age, income and need for cash
- Whether a replacement reset your surrender clock
- Complaints and claims we can pursue on your behalf
Helping a parent? Start here.
Many of our calls start with an adult son or daughter. With your parent’s permission, we’ll walk you both through the contract and the choices.

Free consultation
A short call with a Consumer Advisor. You’ll know if we can help, and what it would cost, before you commit to anything.
Step 1We read every page
Surrender schedule, fees, riders, tax position and how it was sold. We can request the contract for you.
Step 2We help you act
Every option with its real cost, then we help you carry out the one you choose: out, exchanged, or kept on your terms.
Step 3Every annuity has more than one way forward.
Most owners are told two: keep paying or pay to leave. These are all six we price for you.
Keep it, with eyes open
Know your dates and what your riders are worth. Often the right answer.
Penalty-free withdrawals
Many contracts allow a portion out each year with no surrender charge.
Exchange it (1035)
Move without a tax bill, but only if the new contract truly beats the old.
Surrender it
Know the full cost first: charge, adjustments, taxes and any IRS penalty.
Use your free-look period
Most states give you a short window to cancel for a refund. Act fast.
Challenge how it was sold
You may have legal remedies, and some have deadlines. Don’t wait on this one.
Cost and timing are general guides. Your review prices each option for your contract.
The question is who the attorney represents.
Our job is to read your contract, tell you what it says and explain what you can do about it. That is all we are paid for.
- Nothing to sell youNo annuities, no insurance, no investments.
- Paid by you, not by commissionYou see any fee in writing before any work starts. No commissions from anyone, ever.
- Personal legal representationEvery client enters a separate attorney-client relationship with an independent licensed law firm, confirmed in writing. That attorney represents you. Not Annuity Resolution, not the sales team and certainly not the insurance company.
Annuity ResolutionMost owners are leaving money and rights on the table.
We look for these in every contract. The agent who sold yours had no reason to point them out.
Money you can take out this year, penalty-free
Many contracts let you withdraw a portion every year with no surrender charge. Most owners never use it.
A year in rider fees you may not need
Income and death-benefit riders are often charged every year, whether you ever use them or not.
Your surrender charge drops to zero
Leave a year early and it can cost thousands. Wait a few months and it may cost nothing. We find your exact date.
If it was sold the wrong way
Unsuitable or misrepresented sales can be challenged. Some claims have deadlines, so timing matters.
