Protect What Matters
Planning for the “what if?”Having the right insurance protection can make a big difference in your life and the lives of those close to you. A properly constructed insurance plan can mean the difference between leaving your family financially secure or with unwanted debt that may last for years.
Choosing a Solution
Our lives change over time and so does our need for insurance. Whether you have a young family, are starting a new career, getting your first mortgage, or want to leave a legacy to your family, a Wealth Protection Specialist can help you choose a solution that’s right for you.
Reviewing your insurance plan with a professional at least every 2 years or whenever you experience a major life event, may not only save you money but will protect your assets and family from financial hardship when it is needed the most.
Ask the Right Questions
Some of the most common questions clients ask about insurance protection include:
- What kind of insurance do I need?
- Why do I need life insurance in addition to what I already have in place at work or with another financial institution?
- How much do I really need?
Life Insurance
- Life insurance can protect the financial security of the people you love by providing a tax-free payment to your beneficiaries. The amount of coverage you choose and type of insurance you buy should be based on your circumstances and needs.
- While you may have basic life insurance through work, the coverage may not meet your needs and typically ends when you leave your employer. The cost of individually purchased life insurance depends on your age, gender, health, medical history and lifestyle.
- Would your loved ones be financially impacted if something happened to you? If the answer is yes, then you should consider how life insurance can give them the protection they need.
Accident & Sickness Insurance
- For many people, losing just one pay cheque can be difficult, but when accident or illness keeps you from working for an extended period of time, difficulty can turn into disaster.
- Without short term disability insurance or coverage for a critical illness, families can be forced to cut back on even the basics, like food, clothing, transportation and housing.
- While the timing is out of your control, you can control how this affects your family financially.
- We believe everyone should have the opportunity to obtain a supplemental health insurance policy to help fill the gaps and help cover the costs related to recovery from major illnesses or injuries that are not covered by other insurance.
Critical Illness Insurance
- Critical illness cover is a type of life insurance policy that offers protection in the event of a serious illness or injury.
- If you’re diagnosed with an illness that your policy covers, you’ll usually receive a tax-free, one-off payment. This will help to support the change to your life and ease the financial concerns that may come from it. It may be as simple as paying off your mortgage, covering any loss of earnings, or perhaps making necessary adjustments to your home. If you have dependants at home, the money from your policy will lighten the financial burden placed on your family
Health & Dental
- Looking for health insurance to cover prescription drugs, dental care, extended health care or a combination of all three? gives you a variety of plans to choose from, each offering varying levels of protection, so you’ll pay only for the coverage you really want and need.
- If you are leaving an employer, there are benefit plans specifically designed for those whose employee health benefits are ending, who are concerned that their age or health issues may make it difficult to obtain affordable health and dental insurance.
