After 15 years with a 15-year certain and life annuity, the annuity payments will continue for the rest of the annuitant's life even if they live beyond the initial 15-year period. If the annuitant passes away before the end of the 15 years, the payments will continue to a designated beneficiary for the remainder of the 15 years.
The beneficiary's share goes into their own estate.
generally nothing. Insured person can name another beneficiary.
A life annuity with period certain is a type of annuity that provides regular payments for the rest of the annuitant's life, with a guaranteed minimum payment period specified in the contract. If the annuitant dies before the guaranteed period ends, payments will continue to a beneficiary until the end of that period.

Nothing. The benefactor will have to find another beneficiary, unless it has already been accounted for.
If the beneficiary died after the testator you must review the will to make certain there is no set time period the beneficiary must survive the testator. If there is no such provision then the gift becomes part of the beneficiary's estate.
Their share goes into their estate.
It goes to the estate
If the annuity is a non qualified tax deferred annuity (an annuity that taxes were paid on the money before they were placed into the annuity) you will pay taxes on any interest growth when it is removed from the annuity. If the annuity is a qualified annuity (no taxes were paid prior to placing the fund into the annuity) you will pay taxes on all withdrawals from the annuity.
Your annuity policy document should have all the withdrawal provision detailed for you. If not contact the company you have the annuity with and they can give you instructions. Before you withdraw from an annuity be aware of the tax treatment of your annuity withdrawals.
