(Philippe, age 50, has been a widower for six months. He inherited the money in his wife's pension fund, which he transferred to a LIRA. He also received a $150,000 life insurance benefit. Philippe works for a private firm as an IT analyst and earns $80,000 a year. He would like to retire at age 60.
What income sources will be available to Philippe if he retires at age 60?)
(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?)
