Annuity Strategies for 80 & 90 Year Olds: Shootin' It Straight With Stan

If you're in your 80s or 90s or caring for someone who is, this episode breaks down no-BS annuity strategies that actually make sense. Discover how to protect principal, strip out excessive fees, and set up simple, contractual income or legacy plans without getting sold a "whiz-bang" product.    In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  Annuity suitability for people in their 80s and 90s Why complex annuities (indexed, variable, RILAs) are often inappropriate Using 1035 transfers to move into MIGAs Designing legacy and income strategies with period-certain annuities Evaluating existing riders and avoiding bad sales practices   Key Takeaways:  At advanced ages, annuity planning should focus on principal protection and/or guaranteed income, not chasing hypothetical market upside. Variable and indexed annuities with high annual fees often need to be reevaluated and potentially moved into simpler, no-fee structures. A non-taxable 1035 transfer can reposition existing annuities into multi-year guaranteed annuities to lock in gains and eliminate market risk. Period-certain immediate annuities can extend income and spread out tax liability, even if the owner doesn't live through the full payment term. Before moving any contract, it's critical to analyze existing income and death-benefit riders to ensure valuable guarantees aren't left on the table.   "You've already won the game.
