ANNUITIES
Life Annuities
If you’re concerned about outliving your assets and income, life annuities pay a guaranteed income for as long as you live or the guarantee period, whichever is longer.
A single life annuity provides income payments as long as you live.
A single life annuity with no guarantee provides guaranteed income payments while you’re living, but the payments stop when you die.
A single life annuity with a guaranteed period provides you with guaranteed income payments for your lifetime or for a specific guaranteed term you indicate at time of issue, whichever is longer. The guarantee period can be up to 40 years or age 90, depending on the source of funds used to purchase the payout annuity.
If you die before the guaranteed period is complete, your beneficiary receives a lump-sum payment equal to the value of the remaining benefit. If your spouse is your beneficiary, he or she may choose to continue receiving payments until the guaranteed period ends.
Joint and Last Survivor Annuities
A joint and last survivor life annuity provides an income for the lifetime of 2 people. Payments continue until your death or the death of your co-annuitant (for example, your spouse), whichever occurs last. At that time, the beneficiary receives a lump-sum payment equal to the value of any remaining guaranteed benefit.
If you purchase a payout annuity with registered pension or locked-in RRSP funds and you have a spouse, you must purchase a joint and last survivor life annuity. In some cases, this requirement may be waived with the signed consent of your spouse.
Term-Certain Annuities
Term-certain payout annuities pay guaranteed income payments for a specified period of time.
If you die before the annuity reaches the end of the term, the beneficiary receives a lump-sum payment equal to the value of the remaining benefit. If your spouse is your beneficiary, he or she may choose to receive the lump sum or to continue receiving payments until the end of the term.
Policies purchased with registered assets are eligible for terms equal to 90 less your age in full years at the time of purchase.
