Why sell a life annuity?

Selling a life annuity is the solution chosen by many senior citizens in order to receive a large sum of capital as well as an index-linked monthly annuity, net of tax.

  • Settle your estate by allowing a spouse who is not an owner to benefit from an annuity
    Help your heirs financially (e.g. by donating the bouquet)

  • Longer life expectancy as a corollary of the “Papy Boom” era, and therefore an increase in the number of pensioners.

    • Staying in your own home while benefiting from a financial income – in this way, the capital tied up in the property is made liquid.
    • Want to improve your daily life and benefit from a financial supplement
    • Live more comfortably by carrying out some renovation work

    • Early repayment of a loan

  • The financial crisis and the euro, combined with a certain mistrust of banks.
