Annuity owners work with insurance companies to create custom contracts specifying whether money will be leftover and, if so, who will inherit it. These contracts commonly include death benefit provisions, which allow the owner to designate a beneficiary to receive the greater of either all the money left in the account or a guaranteed minimum. A basic death benefit rider offered by a variable annuity guarantees that after your death, the insurance company will pay your heirs at least the amount of the money you put into the annuity prior to it being annuitized. If the policy has been annuitized, there is no death benefit. The owner and annuitant can be the same person. An annuity provides payments to the annuitant during the annuitant’s lifetime. If the annuitant dies before the full contract value is paid out, an annuity death benefit may be paid to a beneficiary who is named in the contract. When annuity death benefits are paid as a lump sum the beneficiary will be responsible for the taxes owed on the gains in the contract which could be a significant sum. Surrender Charges If death occurs before the end of the surrender period, when charges are assessed for early surrender, the charges may be deducted from the death benefit proceeds.

Death benefits in a variable annuity (VA) may be triggered by the death of the annuitant or the contract owner. Fees for a VA death benefit are part of the mortality and expense charge (M&E), included in the VA prospectus, and can be as high as 2% of the contract value.
