Can I use discretionary fund proceeds to buy a living annuity?


Question:

Can I use the proceeds of a property sale or share portfolio sale or any other discretionary funds to purchase a living annuity and/or a guaranteed annuity?

Answer:

Willem, You can use the proceeds to buy a guaranteed annuity, but not a living annuity. A living annuity can only receive proceeds from a retirement fund or another living annuity. To get around this, you would first have to invest the money into a retirement annuity, and from there transfer it into a living annuity.
