Buying in life annuity in France is the purchase of a property in exchange for which the seller, called the annuitant, receives a bouquet and annuity payments:
- The bouquet is a portion of the price paid upfront.
- The life annuity is the sum of money that the buyer will pay regularly, in addition to the bouquet, throughout the seller’s lifetime. It is calculated based on various criteria (the amount of the bouquet, the seller's age, the property’s value, etc.).
