An annuity is a financial product designed to provide a regular income stream to an individual for a specific period or for their lifetime in exchange for a lump sum or series of payments. While annuities are primarily designed to provide income during retirement, some types of annuities can be used to create a legacy.

However, it's important to note that annuities are complex financial products with varying terms and conditions. Before purchasing an annuity, it's essential to understand the terms and conditions of the annuity contract and to work with a financial advisor to determine whether an annuity is the right financial product to help you create a legacy. And today, we have Bryan to help you with that!
