An immediate annuity is commonly used to structure the payment of liability insurance settlements, lottery winnings, and other large sums. This type of annuity allows the beneficiary to receive a series of periodic payments starting immediately after the lump sum is invested. Immediate annuities are often used to provide a steady stream of income for individuals who receive large sums of money but want to ensure that the funds last over time.

If the insured fails to repay the full value of loans taken against a life insurance policy, the death benefit is reduced by the outstanding loan balance plus any accrued interest. The insurer can use the loan to pay the policy’s death benefit or any other obligations, but the policy does not become void unless the loan balance exceeds the cash value.
