Estate Lock
Available only during the accumulation phase. Upon the death of the owner or annuitant, the benefit will be the greater of: 1) the contract value, or 2) the purchase payments adjusted for withdrawals. Withdrawals that do not exceed the protected annual income amount under the Lincoln ProtectedPay and Estate Lock rider will not impact the purchase payments used to determine the Estate Lock death benefit. Additionally, annual advisory fee withdrawals up to 1.25% of the contract value will not be considered as withdrawals for the death benefit calculation. However, if advisory fee withdrawals exceed 1.25% of the contract value, they will be treated as excess withdrawals under the rider and will consequently reduce the benefit amount provided by the rider.
