Life Annuity
A type of annuity contract that guarantees periodic income payments throughout the lifetime of a named individual - the annuitant. If a life annuity provides no further benefits after the death of the annuitant, the annuity is known as a straight life annuity. However, some life annuities provide that income payments will be paid either for the life of the annuitant or for a guaranteed period—life income with period certain—or at least until a guaranteed amount has been paid—life income with refund annuity. (See Life annuity with period certain; Life income with refund annuity; Straight life annuity).
