Can You Annuitize A Fixed Annuity? 
That is a great question ! Every annuity , whether it be a fixed , variable , or indexed annuity will have an annuitizing phase . That simply means that after it has sat for the allotted time accruing earnings , that it reaches the point where it begins to pay out to you . When you purchased your annuity , you would have set the time periodthatthe payments would continue for . Ask your agent to review those details with you , so that you will have an idea of what you can expect to receive for income . I hope it 's a bundle ! Thanks for asking !
