Terms Used In Louisiana Civil Code 2778
- Annuity: A periodic (usually annual) payment of a fixed sum of money for either the life of the recipient or for a fixed number of years. A series of payments under a contract from an insurance company, a trust company, or an individual. Annuity payments are made at regular intervals over a period of more than one full year.
- Contract: A legal written agreement that becomes binding when signed.
An annuity contract is an agreement by which a party delivers a thing to another who binds himself to make periodic payments to a designated recipient. The recipient’s right to these payments is called an annuity.
A contract transferring ownership of a thing other than money for a certain or determinable price payable over a term is not an annuity contract.
