The final answer will depend on the type of annuity that you hold and specific contract provisions. But in the majority of the cases you will be able to sell your investment and receive cash for annuity. Before you decide to sell your annuity you should check if any fees would be applied to you in case you decide to go on with the sale. Many times you will still benefit from the sale despite the fees. The cash for annuity that you receive as a result of the sale could be used for many different reasons that are more important to you that waiting for annuity payout. So how do you receive cash for annuity?

In many cases even the 'Surrender Fees' and 'No Surrender' contract provisions could be waived. Also, depending on your current tax situation, if the annuity investment is designed to be passed as a distribution to heirs, it might be better to receive cash for annuity and reinvest it is a different investment vehicle.
