Life Annuity Payment Option

One of several choices available to an annuitant for payment. If this life annuity option is selected, payments continue for the length of the owner’s life. However, upon his or her death, no payments are available to any survivor. Consequently, a life annuity typically has the highest monthly payout for amount invested. Compare to joint and survivor and Term Certain options.
