Question:
I want to sell my paid-up retirement annuity.
Answer:
Cheryl,
It is not possible to sell or cede your retirement annuity, paid up or not. This is per the Pension Funds Act. A retirement annuity is intended to provide for you in retirement, or your dependents in the event you pass away. The State accordingly offers certain tax deductions to encourage individuals to save. These tax deductions attach to the individual and cannot be transferred or sold to another person.
