Insuranceopedia Explains Whole Life Annuity Due

Annuities often serve as part of a retirement fund for the annuitant. The annuitant makes regular payments into it during what is called the accumulation period and later receives payouts during the liquidation period or annuitization. Unlike fixed-term options, whole life annuity due provides payment until the annuitant passes.
