If you saw Dateline NBC's special in April on annuities and how equity index annuities are pushed unfairly, you may have many questions. Myself and several other professionals have developed a never before offered educational series designed to help people understand them to help with smart decisions. The program is entitled, Making Sense of Annuities--Real Questions, Straight Answers and NO Sales Pitch. This is NOT sales, but education. (There will not even be sales annuity literature at the event!) We will have an estate planning attorney, CPA, finance engineer and 2 vice presidents from different insurance companies explaining what these tools are, how they work, the fees, etc. all in a straight forward panel discussion. Following that there will be a "test drive" on different dates with 5 companies to help explain the details. Go to www.moneycaretakers.org for more info or call me at 248-553-3201 ext 3109 for more info. Please do your homework before you make any decision. If you have any questions about something you've been considering and just want a second opinion, call me and I'll be happy to answer your questions. (No obligation or sales pitch--just information.) Hope to see you on June 10! Eudora Adolph

Hi, Maggie. I can tell you that when I started my company I did consult with an attorney. I'd suggest you do contact one. When starting your own businees, it's important to have a lawyer on your team, who can guide you in taking the right steps to protect yourself and insure your success. Good luck! Tony
