If there was a named beneficiary (s) on the annuity then those named beneficiary(s) that are listed on the contract when completed upon purchase would receive those funds. A will or trust can not override this. If no beneficiary(s) are named then the estate of the deceased would be the heir of the remaining balance and then be distributed according to the guidelines set forth in the will or trust set up by the owner. If the estate is the heir and there was no will or trust then the courts would decide who would be the beneficiary(s) of the remaining balance.

What are annuities?

There can be a few different definitions but in short as it applies to insurance or financial services: = Two Main Annuity Types: Immediate and Deferred = The difference between deferred and immediate annuities is just about what you'd think. With an Immediate Annuity your income payments start right away (technically, anytime within 12 months of purchase). You choose whether you want income guaranteed for a specific number of years or for your lifetime. The insurance company calculates the amount of each income payment based on your purchase amount and your life expectancy. A deferred annuity has two phases: the accumulation phase, where you let your money grow for a while, and the payout phase. During accumulation, your money grows tax-deferred until you take it out, either as a lump sum or as a series of payments. You decide when to take income from your annuity and therefore, when to pay the taxes. Gaining increased control over your taxes is one of the key benefits of annuities. The payout phase begins when you decide to take income from your annuity. For most people, this is during retirement. As your needs dictate, you can take partial withdrawals, completely cash-out (surrender) your annuity, or convert your deferred annuity into a stream of income payments (annuitization). This last option is essentially the same as buying an immediate annuity.

Immediate Annuity Calculator?

Immediate Annuity Calculator An immediate annuity is a product sold by insurance companies that is designed to provide you with an income stream for life. The income, by definition, is designed to start immediately, although some immediate annuities allow you to defer payments for up to one year. It is very important to remember that once you set up an immediate annuity, you no longer control the money you put in it. Likewise, while the income stream is guaranteed for your lifetime, an untimely death will not result in any money being returned to your estate. This calculator is designed to help you estimate your monthly payments from an immediate annuity.
