The annuitant of a registered retirement savings plan ("RRSP") died, leaving his RRSP in trust for his minor child. The executor of the estate will acquire an annuity equal in value to the value of the RRSP, with a term equal to 18 years minus the age of the minor child, with the estate (a trust) as the annuitant. Under the terms of the will, the trustee could use all or part of the income or capital of the trust for the child's needs at the trustee’s sole discretion, with the capital distributed to the child at specified times.
