Why talk about life insurance now? You are currently enrolled in the group plan Your coverage and options are about to change Group coverage/conversion options are not ideal Do you still need insurance? What type of policy is best?

Supplementary Life Insurance - Optional This is an optional benefit. You can choose coverage in amounts equal to one, two or three times your annual basic earnings. You pay 100% of the total monthly premium cost for supplementary life insurance. Your coverage will end the last day of the month in which you terminate employment, or the October 1st immediately following the date you reach age 65, if you continue employment past that birthday, except where coverage is provided under total disability provisions. However, coverage remains in force for a 31-day ‘period of grace’ to give you time to set up another life insurance policy. Your Conversion Options

Life Insurance stages
24
Life insurance Myth As you get older or become more financially independent, your need for life insurance decreases Fact As your net-worth increases, the need to protect your estate also increases Your life insurance coverage may also need to increase
25
On death Generally, you are deemed to have disposed of all your assets and you will pay income tax on the disposition, including: Registered assets such as RRSPs and RRIFs Non-registered assets such as: Mutual funds Stocks Segregated funds Growth in real estate values, including vacation property
26
Estate and taxes We can defer some income tax on death by transferring assets to a spouse However, when the spouse dies, income tax on the deemed disposition of their assets must be paid Income tax can be as high as 50 percent,* depending on province *fifty percent is the highest marginal tax rate in Canada in 2012 (Nova Scotia)

This represents an estimated 35,000 policies and $7 billion coverage. 80% of these declines are due to medical reasons. SecureLife has been designed specifically to enable many of your clients that have been declined elsewhere for medical reasons to obtain valuable life insurance coverage. Through a combination of special plan design features and unique special risk underwriting expertise and experience, we can offer coverage to many otherwise uninsurable individuals. Among the more common medical conditions we have been able to insure are: Diabetes Heart disease Cancer survivors Obesity Alcohol, drug abuse Mental disorders Kidney transplants Multiple conditions Below are the 2012 stats, all of Canada: AGE BAND 56 – 65: RATED: 17% DECLINED: 14% AGE BAND 66 – 69: RATED: 16% DECLINED: 20%
