(Gregory and Vanessa married at an early age and had three children, who are now in their forties: Eve, Rick and Max. When the couple retired five years ago, they purchased a joint life annuity. They also had a will drawn up naming the three children as equal beneficiaries of their estate. The will specifies that Eve will act as executor of the estate.
Last week, Gregory and Vanessa both died in a car accident.
Who could make a death claim as regards the annuity?)
Eloise has critical illness coverage through her group insurance plan at work. She is 54 years old, in excellent health, and is planning to retire soon. She meets with Sonia, her insurance agent, to plan her retirement and to make sure she will still be covered in the event of critical illness. To make sure she is not a burden on her family, Eloise would also like to receive monthly benefits in the event she is placed in an assisted living facility. What should Sonia tell her?
Julie and her spouse, Vincent, have two children, the youngest of whom is 5. Their salaries are roughly equivalent, at around $65,000 each. If Julie loses her spouse, she would receive, each month, $700 from the government plan and an orphan’s pension of $230 for each of her two children. She would also receive a monthly pension of $790 from her spouse's pension plan. The monthly expenses after her spouse's death are estimated at $4,000. Julie's disposable income will be about $1,500 a month. She is worried about the impact on her children's standard of living, especially over the next 10 years.
What is the annual shortfall if Vincent dies?
