Life & Health Insurance

Financial planning is similar to planning your annual vacation, except that it is a lifetime journey. That journey requires planning and regular reviews designed to maximize the financial benefits for you and your family while at the same time minimizing the risks of every day life. So, why is it that some people spend more time planning their annual vacation than they do planning their family’s financial future?

The Three Certainties in Life

There are three certainties in everyone’s life: death, taxes, and change. When any of these events occur there can be an immediate and sudden loss of income and/or need for money. It’s crucial that you design an insurance portfolio that provides money when it is needed most.

Questions to Ask Yourself

How much financial risk and stress is my family currently exposed to in the event of serious illness or death?
Is my current Insurance Portfolio out of balance (i.e. too much of one type of protection and not enough of another)?
Do I have a professional advisor who I can trust, who is knowledgeable and will always act in my best interest?

Some Questions to consider:

Do I need to protect my employment income against a Long Term Disability or am I willing to take the risk of doing without?
As a self employed professional, how can I protect my Office Overhead Expenses if I suffer a long term disability?
How can I adequately protect myself and still own a cost effective plan?
Is the Long Term Disability Benefit that my employer provides sufficient considering my current income or do I need to top up my coverage?

Critical Illness Insurance

One in three Canadians will be diagnosed with a critical illness before the age of 75.

Did you know that if you are 45 years old and had to withdraw $50,000 from your Retirement Savings you could lose $200,000 - $300,000 of potential earnings?

With these kinds of statistics it only makes sense to consider Critical Illness Insurance as part of your overall financial plan. Critical Illness Insurance is a cost effective planning solution that pays a tax-free, guaranteed cash benefit to the insured, upon diagnosis of a covered condition, and survival of a waiting period.

So how do you protect yourself and your family from such an illness? Choose coverage that will provide a cash benefit that will pay your rent or mortgage, cover household bills, pay for additional medical costs, or allow you to access treatment outside Canada. Dealing with a critical illness is stressful enough – don’t add financial worry on top of it.

How We Can Help

We will help you customize a solution that closes the gaps in your insurance portfolio, within the budget you can afford. Developing a sound financial plan that is rounded out by critical insurance is worth investigating.

Long Term Care Insurance

Long Term Care Insurance is a cost effective, wealth preservation planning solution, that pays tax free sums of money that helps pay for either home based care or care in a facility, if you become functionally dependent or suffer a cognitive impairment (such as Alzheimer’s). Functionally dependent means you lose your ability to perform two or more of the Six Activities of Daily Living (bathing, eating, dressing, toileting, transferring, and maintaining continence).

Solution

LivingCare Long Term Care Insurance from Manulife Financial pays a monthly benefit to you while you are living. The monthly benefit does not depend on the actual cost of care, and no reporting of expenses is required. The monthly benefit is pre-determined at the time of application.
