Frequently asked questions — life insurance Quebec

Why do I need life insurance?

Life insurance ensures the financial security of your loved ones if you die prematurely. It can be used to pay off the mortgage, maintain your family’s standard of living, pay funeral expenses and debts, and replace your income. If people depend on you financially, life insurance is essential.

What is the difference between term and permanent life insurance?

Term life insurance protects you for a defined period (10, 20 or 30 years) and is generally less expensive. It is ideal for covering a mortgage or protecting dependent children. Permanent life insurance (universal life or whole life) covers you for your entire life and can accumulate a cash surrender value, but premiums are higher.

How much life insurance should I have?

A general rule is to insure yourself for 7 to 10 times your gross annual income. You should also take into account your mortgage balance, your debts, your children’s future needs (education, etc.) and the income your spouse will have to replace. An AccesDirect advisor can perform a personalized analysis of your real needs.

Do pre-existing conditions affect my eligibility for life insurance?

Yes, certain medical conditions can lead to an additional premium, specific exclusions or, in severe cases, a refusal. It is important to be honest on the application — any false declaration can invalidate the policy at the time of death. A life insurance advisor can direct you to the insurers most open to your health profile.

How do I designate a beneficiary and why is it important?

The beneficiary is the person who will receive the coverage amount at the time of your death. Designating a beneficiary (spouse, children, etc.) prevents the coverage amount from passing through your estate, speeds up payment and protects the coverage amount from creditors. You can change your beneficiary at any time if the designation is revocable.

Is the death benefit taxable in Canada?

No, the life insurance benefit paid to the designated beneficiary is generally not taxable in Canada. This is one of the significant tax advantages of life insurance. If the coverage amount is paid to the estate rather than to a named beneficiary, it could become part of the estate’s assets, subject to fees and delays.

Is my group life insurance at work enough?

Group insurance offered by an employer is often limited to 1 or 2 times the annual salary, which is generally insufficient for people with dependents, a mortgage or significant debt. Furthermore, it disappears if you change jobs. A complementary personal policy is strongly recommended.

What is the cost of life insurance in Quebec?

The cost varies based on your age, your health, whether you smoke, the type of policy and the coverage amount. A $500,000 T-20 term life policy can cost between $30 and $80 per month for a healthy adult in their thirties. The longer you wait, the higher the premiums will be. Comparing early is worthwhile.

Can I convert my term insurance to permanent insurance?

Most term life insurance policies include an option to convert to a permanent policy without a medical exam, before a certain date (often age 65). This is an important benefit if your health deteriorates over time. Check whether your policy includes this clause at the time of purchase.

What happens if I stop paying my life insurance premiums?

For term insurance, the policy is suspended after a grace period (usually 30 days) and you lose your coverage. For a permanent policy with cash surrender value, options may exist: temporary suspension, use of the accumulated value or conversion to a paid-up policy. Consult your life insurance advisor before making a decision.
