Form T1090

What is form T1090?

The T1090 form is well-known as the death of an RRIF Annuitant and Designated Benefit or Joint Designation on the Death of a PRPP Member. This document is used in specific cases. Usually, it is required when the RRIF of the deceased person is paid to the estate of this person, and the survivor becomes the estate’s beneficiary. It was created for annuitants who are members of RRIF and PRPP.

The legal representative of the deceased and the survivor can join forces together to file form 1090 and define the amounts that the deceased received from the RRIF. In this case, the survivor will receive the designated benefit.

As for the pension plan or PRPP, the T1090 form is applied by the estate representative of the deceased and the survivor that matches demands becomes the beneficiary. In this case, both the beneficiary and a legal representative can apply together too. Survivors will have an advantage. Part or all the amount of the real estate will be given as the benefit in satisfaction of the rights of a survivor in this case.
