What is an immediate needs annuity?<\/h2>\n \n

An immediate needs annuity is insurance designed to help you pay for care.<\/p>\n \n \n

Immediate needs annuities are a type of insurance policy, whereby a guaranteed regular income is provided for the cost of your care.<\/p>\n

An immediate needs annuity pays a regular tax-free income to your registered care provider for the rest of your life. There is no reliance on investment performance to achieve this, and all that is required is a one-off lump sum payment to purchase the plan. The cost of the plan is determined by a number of factors, including the monthly payment you require, gender, age, and medical history.<\/p>\n
