The Experience of a Lifetime Annuity Quote from Legal & General

    SURREY, ENGLAND, February 14, 2012 /24-7PressRelease/ -- It's not something people look forward to and they're unlikely to find it particularly memorable or exciting, but buying a pension annuity is an extremely important, once in a lifetime experience.

Pension annuities (sometimes referred to as lifetime annuities), convert pension savings into a regular income for life. Like other big purchases, it's always worth doing some research and shopping around for the best deal. Each annuity provider will offer a different income because each has its own annuity rates. But it's not just their rates that are different.

Tim Gosden, Head of Annuity Product Development at Legal & General explains: "Buying an annuity can be a daunting prospect for many people and it's perfectly natural to need a little help making such an important decision. Seeking financial advice is always a good idea but we as providers can make the experience more straightforward and easy for customers who choose to buy their annuity direct.

"At Legal & General, we pride ourselves on our customer service and we take time to make sure our customers understand their options. When people call us for a quote, we'll ask them a few short questions about their health to see if they might qualify for extra income. We have the benefit of years of experience to share with them."
