      Legacy benefits

      Making your money last for generations

      Preparing for retirement means having a plan that provides income to cover expenses and to live the retirement you planned. It can also mean considering options that allow you to leave a legacy to your loved ones or to a charity that is important to you. Many of our annuities offer add-on benefits* that help make it possible for you to leave a lasting legacy.

      Preparing a will is essential for protecting your loved ones after you’re gone, but a will alone is not enough. See our 10 steps for creating a comprehensive estate plan to ensure your affairs are in order.

      Legacy planning basics

      There’s more to retirement than paying for essentials and living a good life. Explore your options for leaving a legacy.

      Annuities are long-term, tax-deferred vehicles designed for retirement. Variable annuities and registered index-linked annuities involve investment risks and may lose value. Earnings are taxable as ordinary income when distributed. Individuals may be subject to a 10% additional tax for withdrawals before age 59½ unless an exception to the tax is met. Add-on benefits are available for an extra charge in addition to the ongoing fees and expenses of the annuity and may be subject to conditions and limitations.

      *Add-on benefits that provide income for the length of a designated life and/or lives may be available for an additional charge in addition to the ongoing fees and expenses of the variable annuity and may be subject to conditions and limitations. The amount of income that these benefits may provide can vary depending on age when income is taken, and how many lives are covered when the benefit is elected. The cost of these benefits may negatively impact the contract's cash value.
