Life Income Fund
Need to open a Life Income Fund (LIF) to receive income originating from Registered Pension Plan? Open a League Savings and Mortgage Life Income Fund.
A Life Income Fund (LIF) is like a Retirement Income Fund (RIF) designed to provide an income with restrictions on the maximum amount that can be withdrawn each year based on the pension jurisdiction.
LIF Features
- A LIF allows the plan holder flexibility to control the investment of their funds, as well as the frequency and amount of income they receive (within legislated minimum and maximum amounts).
- In the event of the death of a LIF owner, the balance of their fund is available to their spouse, beneficiary, or estate.
- Depending upon the source of the pension funds, some LIFs are subject to Federal regulation while others are under provincial jurisdiction. While there is consistency in many of the requirements, there are some significant differences between the various jurisdictions.
- Rules vary under the different pension jurisdictions. Various clauses enable access to pension originated funds under circumstances such as financial hardship, shortened life expectancy or small balance.
