PERMANENT LIFE INSURANCE

With permanent life insurance, you can offer invaluable financial protection to your loved ones by ensuring their financial future and quality of life in the event of your death.

What is permanent life insurance?

Permanent life insurance is a flexible, guaranteed product that helps ensure the financial security of your loved ones by covering insurance needs such as:

  • Bequests to your heirs
  • Estate tax management
  • Expenses related to death and financial obligations
  • Continuity of your business
  • Protection for your investments
Permanent life insurance is different from term life insurance in that it offers additional benefits, such as a guaranteed surrender value and the option of paid-up insurance.

Permanent life insurance in a few questions

The cost of permanent life insurance varies from one person to the next, as it is determined by several factors:

  • The amount of coverage required
  • The age, gender and health condition of the insured person
  • The length of payment

Permanent life insurance gives you financial coverage for life, and includes the following features:

  • Death benefit: A sum of money to be paid to your beneficiaries upon your death
  • Fixed premiums: Payments that do not change for the duration of the chosen term
  • Surrender value: Funds you can access during your lifetime
  • Lifetime coverage: There is no age limit. As long as you keep paying your premiums, you’re covered
  • Any individual or company can purchase permanent life insurance
  • The insured must be 70 years old or under at the time of enrolment
  • Minors can also be insured, but a parent or legal guardian must sign the policy

Converting your term life insurance into permanent life insurance may be a good idea if:

  • You need lifetime coverage
  • You want to access a cash surrender value
  • You prefer fixed payments
  • You want to secure your family’s financial future in the event of your death

You can use the cash surrender value of your life insurance to:

  • Pay your premiums
  • Add a source of liquidity to your retirement
  • Receive financial compensation in the event of a reduction in insurance coverage or the cancellation of your policy

Even if you are single and have no dependents, permanent life insurance can be useful for:

  • Covering funeral expenses
  • Making a donation to charity
  • Ensuring the continuity of your business

To determine the permanent life insurance coverage you need, consider the following factors:

  • Your income
  • Your debts
  • Your future expenses
  • Your savings
