Do heirs get the benefit of the annuity if both parties die?

If both parties to an annuity contract die, the benefits to heirs depend on the specific terms of the annuity. Many annuities have a death benefit provision that pays a specified amount to the beneficiaries upon the death of the annuitants. However, if the annuity was set up without a death benefit or if it has been fully paid out, heirs may not receive any benefits. It's essential to review the annuity contract for details on beneficiary provisions and death benefits.
