Guaranteed Income for Life with Citadel Financial Wealth Group

At Citadel Financial Wealth Group (CFWG), we understand the importance of financial security in retirement. A life annuity offers a reliable solution by providing you with a guaranteed income stream for the rest of your life, ensuring peace of mind and stability in your golden years.

💡 What is a Life Annuity?

A life annuity is a financial product that converts a lump sum of your savings into a steady, predictable income for life. By purchasing a life annuity, you transfer the risk of outliving your savings to the insurance company, securing a consistent income regardless of market fluctuations or how long you live.

🔍 Types of Life Annuities

Single Life Annuity

  • Description: Provides income for the lifetime of one individual.

  • Ideal for: Individuals seeking maximum income without the need to provide for a spouse or partner after death.

 

2. Joint and Survivor Annuity

  • Description: Continues to pay income as long as one of the two annuitants is alive.

  • Ideal for: Couples who want to ensure financial security for both partners.

 

3. Term-Certain Annuity

  • Description: Pays income for a specified period (e.g., 10 or 20 years), regardless of whether the annuitant lives that long.

  • Ideal for: Those looking to cover specific financial obligations over a set period.

 

4. Deferred Life Annuity

  • Description: Begins payments at a future date, allowing your investment to grow before income starts.

  • Ideal for: Individuals planning for future income needs, such as retirement.

Frequently Asked Questions About Life Annuities

How is the income from a life annuity taxed in Canada?

If purchased with registered funds (e.g., RRSP), payments are fully taxable. If purchased with non-registered funds, a portion of each payment is considered a return of capital and is not taxed.

Can I access my money after purchasing a life annuity?

Life annuities are generally irreversible; once purchased, you cannot access the lump sum. However, certain annuities offer features like guaranteed periods or refund options.

What happens to the payments if I die shortly after purchasing the annuity?

If you selected a guaranteed period or a joint annuity, payments may continue to your beneficiary or surviving partner. Without these options, payments typically cease upon death
