All About Single Payment Annuities

Are you on the verge of retirement, without being in any secured mode of retirement payment? In that case you might be worried about the loss of your regular salary? Or you might have a very fluctuating job where you make an enormous profit at one point of time and nothing at another point of time. In that case, you could opt for a Single payment annuity. What exactly is a single payment annuity?

This is a scheme which allows you to make a single deposit to the insurance company. The company will provide you in return, a regular flow of income.  The amount you get is based on a calculation involving the amount you pay and a calculation of your life expectancy.

The insurance company will accordingly invest in equities and the like.  Of course people have different needs, for which there are different amounts and terms. Y

10 Reasons Not to Buy a New Car

The debate on whether to buy a used car or new car rages on, with both sides justifying their choice vehemently. With the on going recession and the economy being down, we have a few more people jumping on to this side of the fence, where we like our good old cars. Here are my ten reasons for why buying a new car is not a great idea.

1. Necessity:

While many people live in areas that require some sort of motorized transportation, buying a brand new car right off the showroom floor is not necessarily a wise move. Once the ink is dried on the contract and the car is driven off of the lot, the value of the vehicle depreciates greatly, in some cases by half of the car’s worth. Buying a used car is more financially wise because the car has already had the “bugs” worked out of it. It ha Read all post…

Car Insurance: More than One Insurance in the same Company

Another way to save money on your insurance is to go to compare car insurance where you can combine your vehicle and other insurance under the same company. All insurance companies offer discounts for many vehicles, and if yours does not, then it is time to find another company. In addition, many companies may give discounts if your car while ensuring also insures your home.

Other discounts may not be exploited. It seems obvious, but make sure you’re getting the price right for your age. There are discounts for various ages that can save you money. Ask your agent. In addition, alarm systems in your vehicle are usually a good reason to get a discount. Additionally, anti lock brakes and air bags can also help you lower your rates.

Do not continue paying the same every month. Y

A landlord is required to pay for damages that fall below the deductible of required insurance.

June 3, 2010,

The Claimant was the owner of an apartment building and leased the apartments to individual lessees pursuant to 99 year leases.  A water leak from the Defendant’s apartment caused damage to several apartments.  At issue was whether the Defendant was liable to pay the cost of repairs, as this amount was less than the deductible under the insurance which the Claimant was required to obtain pursuant to the terms of the lease and which otherwise would have covered the loss had the cost of repair exceeded the deductible.

 

Under the terms of the lease, the Defendant was obligated to repair and maintain her suite, except with respect to damage insured against by the Claimant.  The Claimant was required to keep the building insured against loss or damage caused by certain risks and, in compliance with that obligation, had purchased an “all risk” policy, which included the risk of flood.  The Claimant argued that since the cost of repairs could not be recovered under the insurance policy, the loss was not an insured loss and therefore, the Defendant was liable for the cost of repairs.

 

The Court relied on Lincoln Canada Services LP v. First Gulf
