Annuity.org carefully selects partners who share a common goal of educating consumers and helping them select the most appropriate product for their unique financial and lifestyle goals. Our network of advisors will never recommend products that are not right for the consumer, nor will Annuity.org. Additionally, Annuity.org operates independently of its partners and has complete editorial control over the information we publish.
Our vision is to provide users with the highest quality information possible about their financial options and empower them to make informed decisions based on their unique needs.
Most new annuity contracts have a provision called the không lấy phí look period that gives the purchaser 10 to 30 days to consider the terms of the contract. During this time, which should be prominently indicated in the contract, the buyer can cancel the contract and receive a full refund of their premium without paying surrender charges.
States regulate annuities, and most states require a không lấy phí look period. Insurance companies can provide longer không lấy phí look periods than required by law.
Sometimes this is referred to as a grace period. But usually, the term grace period relates to the amount of time you have to make payments past their due date.

Learn about the different types of annuities and find out which one is right for you.
Protection for Annuity Holders
The không lấy phí look period is one of several reforms that addressed abusive sales tactics in the first half of the 20th century. It’s designed to help consumers make decisions without being pressured or badgered. It gives people a chance to further review their financial decision and ensure it’s the best option for them.
During the không lấy phí look period, you can still research your annuity and see if others have a better giảm giá. You can make sure you understand how your annuity works. You can read your contract and ask questions. You can ask a lawyer or a financial advisor or a family thành viên to review the policy for you.
And in the end if you decide you don’t want the annuity after all, or you want to purchase one from a different provider, you can cancel your contract without having to explain why, as long as you’re still within the specified không lấy phí look period. You don’t even have to contact your agent to cancel if you don’t want to. You can just call the insurance agency that issued the annuity. Just remember, the clock starts ticking when your annuity contract is delivered to you.
States Regulate Free Look Periods
The amount of time you have to change your mind about an annuity depends on the state in which you purchase your annuity. And the states are all over the map on this — in more ways than one.
Some states, such as Arizona, California and Florida, require longer không lấy phí look periods for senior citizens. Other states, such as Alaska, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon and Texas, require longer periods for replacement annuity policies than for new policies.
Wyoming requires a 30-day không lấy phí look period for replacement policies, but it doesn’t require one for new annuity contracts. Virginia requires a 10-day không lấy phí look period for replacement contracts, but the state has no legal requirement for new annuities.
Some states, such as Colorado and Vermont, have no legally required không lấy phí look periods. Other states, such as Maine and New Mexico, require không lấy phí look periods only if the annuity company failed to provide the purchaser with required consumer guide information.
And yet other states, combine the various requirements. Ohio and Hawaii, for example, require a 10-day không lấy phí look period for new annuity contracts. That increases to 15 days if the buyer wasn’t provided with required information the time of purchase. And it goes up to 30 days for replacement annuity contracts.
In Alabama, there’s a 30-day không lấy phí look period requirement for replacement contracts and a 15-day period when the consumer buyer’s guide and disclosure document aren’t provided or before the time of application. But when the information is provided on a new contract, the law doesn’t dictate any không lấy phí look period requirement.
No matter the individual state’s requirement, annuity providers everywhere are allowed and encouraged to include không lấy phí look periods in their contracts. Even in states where no không lấy phí look period is required by law, officials say không lấy phí look periods are standard practice with little or no deviation.
Brenda Clark, a consumer services administrator with the Vermont Department of Financial Regulation, told Annuity.org that “no company has ever pushed back” on providing consumers with contracts that abide by this standard.
If your contract doesn’t include a không lấy phí look period provision, you should ask why it doesn’t.
