Surrender Charges and Results
Fees and expenses on Lincoln Financial annuities, similar to other carriers, include upfront sales commissions, rider fees, separate account fees on indexed policies, death benefit fees, and subaccount fees for each of the mutual funds that are inside of the annuity. In addition, you may be charged for any full or partial surrender or withdrawal from the policy for up to ten years. If you are over 60 and surrendered a Lincoln National annuity in California, call Evans Law Firm Inc. today at 415-441-8669 for a free review of your particular policy.
These Lincoln Financial products are complex and fees and charges may erode returns. Remember that these products are essentially illiquid for long periods – up to ten years. Sales commissions are paid out up front, however. Fees and other charges may increase over the life of the policy so that actual returns may be less than advertised. The subaccounts you elect for your annuity investment also charge fees that will diminish your return.
