Purchased means you take your savings and buy an income for the rest of your life. A compulsary annuity is when your savings have been accrued in a tax exempt pension sceme and therefore you have NO CHOICE about buy an annuity with them. Okay, whatever the type of annuity, you get the choice of what type of annuity you buy as follows:- (1) Straightforward annuity. No guarantee. When you die, the income ceases. (2) Guaranteed annuity. The income would be paid for 5 or 10 years whether you were alive or dead. If the latter, it would be paid to your estate for the residual period of the guarantee. (3) Joint life annuity.
