If an annuitant dies before annuitization occurs, the beneficiary typically receives the account's accumulated value, which may include premiums paid and any interest earned, depending on the terms of the annuity contract. Some contracts may also offer a guaranteed minimum death benefit. It's important to review the specific terms of the annuity to understand the benefits available to the beneficiary.
If an annuitant dies before annuitization occurs, the beneficiary typically receives the accumulated value of the annuity contract or a death benefit, depending on the terms of the contract. This amount may be the total premiums paid, the account value at the time of death, or a guaranteed minimum amount, depending on the specific provisions outlined in the annuity agreement. It's important for beneficiaries to review the contract details to understand the exact payout.
A fixed 10-year period certain annuity guarantees payments for a specified term of 10 years, regardless of whether the annuitant is alive or not. If the annuitant passes away before the 10 years are up, the remaining payments are made to a designated beneficiary. This type of annuitization provides a predictable income stream while ensuring that the total value of the annuity is paid out within the guaranteed period. However, once the 10 years are complete, payments cease, regardless of the annuitant's status.
The LIFE payout options available from an annuity or life insurance policy are of two types: (A) Life Only and (B) Life with Refund (A) Life Only - the contract guarantees an income (at least annually) for the life of the "annuitant" (the person whose age and sex determines the amount payable). At the annuitant's death, the contract ceases, without value. (B) Life with Refund - Like Life Only, this option will pay an income for the life of the annuitant. If the annuitant dies before the expiry of a specified period, such as 10 years (this is known as a "life and 10 Year Certain" payout) or before the annuitant has received a specified total amount (this is called "life and Cash Refund"), the remaining "refund" amount will be paid to the beneficiary. In the case of "Period Certain" options, the beneficiary will receive the remaining payments (e.g.: if annuitant died having elected a Life and 10 Year Certain and died after five years, the beneficiary will receive payments for the next five years. In a Cash Refund payout, the beneficiary will receive the lump sum difference between the specified lump sum and the cumulative value of income payments paid to the annuitant. It should be noted that NO annuity payout arrangement can EVER guarantee ANY amount to the beneficiary, as all such arrangements will terminate without value if the annuitant lives past the "refund feature" guarantee. LIFE payout are not the only way that annuities can provide income. A non-life payout, called "Period Certain", guarantees payment of income for a specified period of time (e.g.: 20 years), whether the annuitant is living or not. If the annuitant outlives the Period Certain, no further payments are made.
A life annuity with period certain is a type of annuity that provides regular payments for life, with a minimum guaranteed period during which payments will continue, even if the annuitant dies. If the annuitant dies before the end of the guaranteed period, the payments will continue to a beneficiary until the end of that period.
A life annuity with period certain is a type of annuity contract that guarantees a series of payments for a specified period of time or for the lifetime of the annuitant, whichever is longer. This means that if the annuitant passes away before the specified period ends, the payments will continue to a designated beneficiary until the end of the period. It provides a level of financial security by ensuring a stream of income for a set period, even if the annuitant dies prematurely.
Yes. A secondary beneficiary only becomes beneficiary if the primary beneficiary dies before the insured. Say the insured and primary beneficiary are involved in a fatal auto accident but the insured dies an hour before the primary beneficiary. The insurance proceeds would not go to the secondary beneficiary but to the estate of the primary beneficiary. If the primary beneficiary dies an hour before the insured then the secondary beneficiary receives the proceeds. If an insured wants both to receive monies they can name more than one person as primary beneficiary and in what percentage for each person. They could also leave it to their estate and handle distribution by a will.
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.
That all depends on the provisions of the trust. You need to review the trust document to determine if there is a contingent beneficiary named who will receive the deceased beneficiary's portion. You should ask the trustee if you can have the trust reviewed by your own attorney.

When you are a beneficiary in a will you are contacted by the executor of the will as it is their legal duty to carry out the wishes of the deceased and to show that all wishes have been met to the court before they can receive their payment
Yes, the first beneficiary typically has priority over subsequent beneficiaries in a trust or insurance policy. This means that the first beneficiary named will receive the benefits or assets before any others, unless specified otherwise in the legal documents. However, it’s essential to review the specific terms of the trust or policy, as they can vary in their stipulations regarding beneficiary rights.
