Joint and Survivor Option


Under this life insurance settlement option, the death benefit is paid as a stream of benefit payments (an immediate annuity) instead of being paid as a lump sum. Payments are usually for a guaranteed minimum period and thereafter continue until both of the annuitants have died. The annuitants are usually the beneficiary and his/her spouse. The option can be selected by the owner during the lifetime of the person insured and, thereafter, by the beneficiary. This is also an immediate annuity or annuitization option. Please visit our annuity site to learn more about the different types of annuities available, and how they can help you secure your retirement.
