15. Retraite Québec shall transfer the sums awarded to the spouse into an annuity contract, a locked-in retirement account or a life income fund where those sums come from an entitlement to a pension or to a deferred pension.
However, Retraite Québec shall transfer those sums into a registered retirement savings plan or a registered retirement income fund if those sums come from an entitlement to a refund of contributions under section 224.4 of the Act, to a refund of contributions under section 244.4 of the Act, or to a refund of amounts under section 246.14.2 of the Act, or, upon application by the spouse, into an annuity contract, a locked-in retirement account or a life income fund.
Despite the first and second paragraphs, those sums are paid to the spouse’s heirs in the event of the spouse’s death.
