In a joint life and survivorship annuity, there is more than one annuitant. Both annuitants will receive payments until one dies. Upon the death of one annuitant, what happens to the survivor’s payments?
  1. The payment amount decreases by one third to the survivor
  2. The payment amount remains the same for the survivor
  3. The payment amount is the same or less for the survivor
  4. The payment amount increases for the survivor
Explanation
Answer: C - Upon the death of one annuitant, the payment amount is the same or less for the survivor of the joint life and survivorship annuity. This amount is paid for the lifetime of the survivor.
