FAQ

4. Disclaiming the Annuity: A beneficiary is allowed to refuse an annuity. When you disclaim an annuity, it then goes to the next beneficiary in line; you don't get to dictate who receives the annuity.

Annuities. A type of investment that returns a steady, guaranteed income, annuities are (usually) protected against lawsuits and creditors. Annuities are also a life insurance product, and as such, they are protected against market fluctuations.

As a senior, you have a right to a free 30-day period to look over the annuity to make sure it is what you want. Within the 30-day period you can return the annuity contract for a full refund.

A disclaimer is a refusal to accept property. When a beneficiary disclaims an annuity or qualified account, the death benefit will be paid to any surviving beneficiary(ies). If there is no remaining beneficiary, the property goes to the deceased's estate.

Are Annuities Protected From Creditors in California? California has asset protection laws in place to benefit residents. For unmatured life policies including annuities, the exempt amounts are $9,700 for an individual and $19,400 for a married couple. A money judgment can be enforced beyond these dollar amounts.

To avoid taxes on inheritance for your beneficiaries, utilize a deferred annuity or a life insurance policy. Annuities offer enhanced death benefits to allow beneficiaries to offset taxes or spread the tax burden over time.

You can also disclaim an inheritance if you're the named beneficiary of a financial account or instrument, such as an individual retirement account (IRA), 401(k) or life insurance policy. Disclaiming means that you give up your rights to receive the inheritance.

The short answer is yes. Annuities are regulated and protected at the state level. Every state has a nonprofit guaranty organization that each insurance company operating in that state must join. In the event that a member company fails, the other companies in the guaranty association help pay the outstanding claims.

Option #1: ?Disclaim? the inherited retirement account By disclaiming the asset, you can potentially pass these assets on to someone in a lower tax bracket. To disclaim, you need to make this choice within nine months of the original owner's death and before taking possession of any assets.

Life insurance and annuities have the rare advantage of being protected from most judgments and liens. While laws vary from state to state, often these insurance proceeds are considered uncollectible assets. As a matter of policy, they also bypass probate.

(b) If a disclaimer made pursuant to this part affects real property or an obligation secured by real property and the disclaimer is acknowledged and proved in like manner as a grant of real property, the disclaimer may be recorded in like manner and with like effect as a grant of real property, and all statutory provisions relating to the recordation or nonrecordation of conveyances of real property and to the effect thereof apply to the disclaimer with like effect, without regard to the date when the disclaimer was filed pursuant to subdivision (a). Failure to file a disclaimer pursuant to subdivision (a) which is recorded pursuant to this subdivision does not affect the validity of any transaction with respect to the real property or the obligation secured thereby, and the general laws on recording and its effect govern any such transaction. Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, Â§280.

A disclaimer, when effective, is irrevocable and binding upon the beneficiary and all persons claiming by, through, or under the beneficiary, including creditors of the beneficiary.
Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, Â§281.

(a) Unless the creator of the interest provides for a specific disposition of the interest in the event of a disclaimer, the interest disclaimed shall descend, go, be distributed, or continue to be held (1) as to a present interest, as if the disclaimant had predeceased the creator of the interest or (2) as to a future interest, as if the disclaimant had died before the event determining that the taker of the interest had become finally ascertained and the taker's interest indefeasibly vested. A disclaimer relates back for all purposes to the date of the death of the creator of the disclaimed interest or the determinative event, as the case may be.

(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a), where the disclaimer is filed on or after January 1, 1985:

(1) The beneficiary is not treated as having predeceased the decedent for the purpose of determining the generation at which the division of the estate is to be made under Part 6 (commencing with Section 240) or other provision of a will, trust, or other instrument.

(2) The beneficiary of a disclaimed interest is not treated as having predeceased the decedent for the purpose of applying subdivision (d) of Section 6409 or subdivision (b) of Section 6410. Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, Â§282.

A disclaimer is not a fraudulent transfer by the beneficiary under Chapter 1 (commencing with Section 3439) of Title 2 of Part 2 of Division 4 of the Civil Code. Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, Â§283.

A person who could file a disclaimer under this part may instead file a written waiver of the right to disclaim. The waiver shall specify the interest to which the waiver applies. Upon being filed as provided in Section 280, the waiver is irrevocable and is binding upon the beneficiary and all persons claiming by, through, or under the beneficiary.
Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, Â§284.

(a) A disclaimer may not be made after the beneficiary has accepted the interest sought to be disclaimed.

(b) For the purpose of this section, a beneficiary has accepted an interest if any of the following occurs before a disclaimer is filed with respect to that interest:

(1) The beneficiary, or someone acting on behalf of the beneficiary, makes a voluntary assignment, conveyance, encumbrance, pledge, or transfer of the interest or part thereof, or contracts to do so; provided, however, that a beneficiary will not have accepted an interest if the beneficiary makes a gratuitous conveyance or transfer of the beneficiary's entire interest in property to the person or persons who would have received the property had the beneficiary made an otherwise qualified disclaimer pursuant to this part.

(2) The beneficiary, or someone acting on behalf of the beneficiary, executes a written waiver under Section 284 of the right to disclaim the interest.

(3) The beneficiary, or someone acting on behalf of the beneficiary, accepts the interest or part thereof or benefit thereunder.

(4) The interest or part thereof is sold at a judicial sale.

(c) An acceptance does not preclude a beneficiary from thereafter disclaiming all or part of an interest if both of the following requirements are met:

(1) The beneficiary became entitled to the interest because another person disclaimed an interest.

(2) The beneficiary or other person acting on behalf of the beneficiary at the time of the acceptance had no knowledge of the interest to which the beneficiary so became entitled.

(d) The acceptance by a joint tenant of the joint tenancy interest created when the joint tenancy is created is not an acceptance by the joint tenant of the interest created when the joint tenant survives the death of another joint tenant. Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, Â§285.

The right to disclaim exists regardless of any limitation imposed on the interest of a beneficiary in the nature of an expressed or implied spendthrift provision or similar restriction. Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, Â§286.

An interest created before January 1, 1984, that has not been accepted may be disclaimed after December 31, 1983, in the manner provided in this part, but no interest that arose before January 1, 1984, in a person other than the beneficiary may be destroyed or diminished by any action of the disclaimant taken pursuant to this part.
Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, Â§287.

This part does not limit or abridge any right a person may have under any other law to assign, convey, or release any property or interest, but after December 31, 1983, an interest that would otherwise be taken by a beneficiary may be declined, refused, renounced, or disclaimed only as provided in this part. Div. 2, Part 8, Chap. 2, Â§288.
