LAST WILL & TESTAMENT

“Every soul shall taste death”

Qur’an, Surah Al-Imran (3:185)

The importance of the Islamic Will (Wasiyya) is clear from the following two hadith:

“It is the duty of a Muslim who has anything to bequest not to let two nights pass without writing a Will about it.”

(Sahih al-Bukhari)

“A man may do good deeds for seventy years but if he acts unjustly when he leaves his last testament, the Wickedness of his deed will be sealed upon him, and he will enter the fire. If, (on the other hand), a man Acts wickedly for seventy years but is just in his last Will and Testament, the goodness of his deed will be Sealed upon him, and he will enter the garden.”

(Ahmad and Ibn Majah)

The Will gives the Testator an opportunity to help someone (e.g. a relative need such as an orphaned grandchild or a christian widow) who is not entitled to inherit from him.

The Will can be used to clarify the nature of joint accounts, those living in commensality, appointment of Guardian for one’s children and so on. In countries where the intestate succession law is different from Islamic law it becomes absolutely necessary to write a Will.

WHY PLAN FOR RETIREMENT?

Retirement planning is key if you want to maintain your lifestyle at retirement. Planning consists of two phases:

Pre-retirement funding which means investing in a Retirement Annuity while you are actively working. Things to consider include how much you can currently afford to invest and how long you have until you reach retirement age.

Post-retirement income requires investing the proceeds of your Retirement Annuity into a Life or Living Annuity. Post-retirement income considerations include choosing a product that is able to sustain capital growth. You can opt to receive income monthly, bi-annually or annually.

FEATURES AND BENEFITS OF A RETIREMENT ANNUITY

• You can invest in Unit Trusts of your choice to save for your retirement
• Minimum contribution of R500.00 per month or R20 000.00 lump sum
• Contributions to a Retirement Annuity are Tax Deductible
• Restrictions ensure your money is kept for your retirement

A living annuity allows you to invest your retirement savings to generate and draw an appropriate level of income that keeps pace with inflation after you retire.

How do I decide if a Living Annuity is right for me?

Deciding on a product that has to provide you with an income for the rest of your life is one of the most important financial decisions you have to make. If you don’t feel equipped to make this decision unaided, you should consider talking to an independent financial adviser.

An alternative product to consider is a guaranteed life annuity. When making this decision, consider your personal needs, your risk appetite and the key differences between the products available:

• • In a living annuity, any investment return earned belongs to you and gives you the chance to increase your income over time. In a guaranteed annuity, your income is known in advance, and any additional investment return belongs to the product provider.
  • A guaranteed life annuity will provide you with a specified income for a set period of time (usually until you die), while your income from a living annuity, and how long it will last, will depend on the return you earn and how much you choose to withdraw. If you draw too high an income, you may run out of money.
  • The company that provides the guaranteed annuity carries all the investment risk. In a living annuity you take the risk that your investment will not perform as you expect, and that you may need to draw a lower income than you would like.
  • Living annuities can be left to your beneficiaries when you die but guaranteed annuities cannot be passed on to beneficiaries.

What type of savings can I transfer into my living annuity?

• • A living annuity is legally restricted to only accept transfers from retirement funds:
  • Preservation Funds
  • Pension and Provident Funds
  • Retirement Annuities
  • Other Living Annuities
  • You may not add any everyday savings (such as debit orders, lump sums from your bank account or other investments) to your living annuity.

How much income can I withdraw each year from my living annuity?

You can choose how much income to draw, within the legal limits between 2.5% and 17.5% pa. Due to the impact of COVID-19 on asset values, you will be able to draw an annual income of between 0.5% and 20% pa of your total investment from 1 June to 30 September 2020 (the relief period).

Thereafter, your annual income will automatically revert to what it was before the relief period and must again be between 2.5% and 17.5% pa.

Research has shown that your income has the best chance of lasting until you die if you withdraw a fixed rand amount (rather than a percentage) starting at 4% or less at retirement, and only increase the rand value of your income by inflation each year after that.

When can I change my income level and frequency?

Due to the impact of COVID-19 on asset values, from 1 June to 30 September 2020 you will be able to review your income more frequently than normal. Thereafter, you will once again only be able to do this once a year, on the anniversary of the date that your living annuity was started.

Can I keep investing into my living annuity?

A living annuity is legally restricted to only accept retirement savings transfers. You cannot continue investing into your living annuity.

How is my living annuity taxed?

The return you earn in a living annuity is not taxed. However, your income is taxed at your marginal income tax rate, depending on the level of income you choose.

We will deduct the necessary tax from your income payment and pay this over to SARS on your behalf.

Reasons a living annuity may not be suitable for you

• • When your income is not guaranteed as the investment depends on the value and return that you earn. If your investment value drops, or you do not earn enough return, you may need to draw a lower income than you would like.
  • If you withdraw too high an income, your investment might not last.
  • Investment performance fluctuates over the short to medium term. You take on the risk that your investment will not perform as you expect.
