Products and Guarantees
Insurance and fixed annuity products are offered through Summa Planning Group and issued by third-party insurance carriers. Any guarantees referenced are subject to the claims-paying ability of the issuing carrier. Product features, availability, costs, riders, and provisions vary by carrier, product, and state, and are subject to change.
Policy illustrations are projections based on assumptions that are not guaranteed. They are not promises of future performance, and actual results will differ.
Any recommendation requires a review of your individual circumstances and is subject to carrier underwriting and approval.
The Responsibility Readiness Assessment™
The Assessment is an educational self-assessment tool. Your score and results are general in nature, are based solely on the answers you provide, and do not constitute an individualized recommendation, a complete review of your circumstances, or a guarantee of any outcome. Results should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any financial, legal, or insurance decision.
The Responsibility Review™
A Responsibility Review™ is a review-first conversation about what you already have in place. Requesting one creates no obligation to purchase anything, and not every conversation results in a recommendation.
Testimonials
Any testimonials appearing on this website reflect the individual experience of the person providing them. They are not paid unless otherwise disclosed, and they are not a guarantee or indication that any other person will experience the same results.
Coordination with Other Professionals
We work alongside attorneys, CPAs, investment professionals, trustees, and other specialists. We do not provide the services those professionals provide, and references to coordination do not constitute an endorsement of, or responsibility for, the work of any other professional. You should consult licensed professionals for personalized legal, tax, investment, and medical guidance.
