A life annuity may be best for you for a number of reasons.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, if you have a life annuity, you are guaranteed not to outlive the income afforded through this financial plan.<\/p>\n<p>Below we outline the five main advantages you will get from a life annuity.<\/p>\n<p>Let&#8217;s get started!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your income will be guaranteed and predictable<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>When you buy a life annuity, you provide a lump sum of money to an insurance company. In return you receive a predictable and specific amount of income during regular intervals for the rest of your life.<\/p>\n<p>You now have peace of mind knowing that your income will never decrease or\u00a0 end during your lifetime. You have a <a href=\"http:\/\/money.cnn.com\/2016\/01\/20\/retirement\/retirement-guaranteed-income-annuities\/index.html\">lifetime guarantee of income if you buy an annuity<\/a> like this.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A life annuity requires little management<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Once you set up an annuity plan, it will require very little or no management, ever.\u00a0 You won&#8217;t need to spend any time or worry\u00a0 once you have completed the initial paperwork.<\/p>\n<p>If you want to invest money but do not want to spend any time managing your portfolio, consider getting these life annuities. It is a very low maintenance income management strategy. And the safest.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tax deferral status<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Non registered life annuities are the only investment option that is given a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebalance.com\/all-about-deferred-annuities-2389020\">tax deferral status<\/a> by the federal government. All money put into a non registered annuity is tax-deferred until it\u2019s withdrawn from the account.<\/p>\n<p>Also, annuities have no cap on the amount of money you can.<\/p>\n<p>And it will not be taxed until you withdraw the funds.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Retirement income safe from market and interest-rate risks<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If you choose a life annuity, your retirement income won&#8217;t be at risk of interest rates or market fluctuations. This is a much better option than putting a lot of money into investment funds if you want guaranteed income.<\/p>\n<p>You never know when a recession may arrive or the stock market may crash. It is against these possibilities, that you build your annuity wall.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Your loved ones can have guaranteed income upon your death<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>One of the key benefits of getting a lifetime annuity plan is that you can choose to leave an income to a beneficiary once you pass away.<\/p>\n<p>The first step is to take a non registered annuity with payments guaranteed for a certain number of years. If you don\u2019t outlive the guaranteed payments, they can pass on to that beneficiary.<\/p>\n<p>Do you have any questions or concerns about lifetime annuities and their benefits?
