Which annuity contract is designed to provide payments connected with a legal settlement?

• A. Impaired Life Annuity
• B. Structured Settlement Annuities
• C. Prescribed Annuity
• D. Split Annuity Strategy

Answer: (B)

Structured settlement annuities are designed to provide guaranteed, periodic payments that arise from a legal settlement. In these arrangements, the party responsible for the settlement funds an annuity to ensure ongoing payments to the claimant over years or even for life, tailored to the settlement terms and the recipient’s needs. This setup directly links the payments to the settlement, rather than to individual life expectancy or other unrelated features. Impaired Life Annuities depend on the insured person’s life expectancy and aren’t tied to a legal settlement. Prescribed annuities aren’t about settlements specifically, and Split Annuity Strategy refers to distributing funds across contracts rather than funding a settlement with guaranteed payments.
