Are deferred annuities a good deal? What are reputable companies for purchasing a deferred annuity?
But isn't it true that if you invest $100k, for example, in an annuity and then are hit by a bus in a year, your heirs will receive nothing? I believe you can protect yourself by going with an annuity with a death benefit so I'd like to learn more about this type of annuity. Thanks.
