Remi owns a registered annuity contract that pays him a $2,500 monthly benefit. He purchased the contract five years ago from money he accumulated in his registered pension plan. At the time, he named his wife Annette as the revocable beneficiary of the contract. Today, he calls Louisa, his insurance agent, to designate his sister as beneficiary of the contract instead. Louisa tells him that there are restrictions on the contract and that he cannot change the beneficiary designation.
Why is Remi unable to make the change?
