Annuitization Options

Simply describes the choices in the way to annuitize. For example, life with a 20 year period certain means payouts will last a lifetime, but should the annuitant die during the first 20 years, the payments will continue to beneficiaries through the 20th year. Selection of such an option reduces the amount of the periodic payment.
