Life insurance is an agreement between an individual, known as the policyholder. In this arrangement, the policyholder pays regular premiums to the insurer, and in return, the insurer provides a lump-sum payment, to the designated beneficiaries upon the death of the insured person. The purpose of life insurance is to offer financial protection to the policyholder’s beneficiaries, helping them cover expenses such as funeral costs, mortgage payments, and other financial obligations.
Our team of protection and mortgage advisors in Halifax are ready 7 days a week to discuss the particulars with you and assist in identifying the most suitable insurance arrangement for your unique personal and financial circumstances.
Life insurance operates by the policyholder entering into a contract with an insurance company. The policyholder makes periodic premium payments, ensuring that the policy remains active. The coverage period can be for a specified term or for the entire life of the insured person, depending on the type of policy chosen. In the event of the insured person’s death during the coverage period, the insurance company pays out a tax-free death benefit to the beneficiaries named by the policyholder. There are various types of life insurance, including term life insurance, which covers a specific term, and permanent life insurance, which provides lifelong coverage and includes a cash value.
The necessity for life insurance hinges on individual circumstances and financial objectives. If you have dependents, such as a spouse or children, who rely on your financial support, life insurance can serve as a financial safety net. It can help cover expenses like mortgage payments and provide income replacement for your family in the event of your death. Additionally, if you have outstanding debts, life insurance can ensure that those financial obligations are met, easing the burden on your family.
Life insurance, is crucial during major milestones because it provides financial security and peace of mind. In the event of the policyholder’s death, the life insurance payout can be used to cover the outstanding mortgage, ensuring that loved ones are not burdened with the financial responsibility of the home. This protection is especially important when considering the substantial financial commitment associated with homeownership, as it shields the family from potential foreclosure or forced sale due to the loss of the primary breadwinner.
Several factors come into play when determining the initial life insurance quote. These factors include the individual’s age, health condition, lifestyle, occupation, and the desired coverage amount. Younger, healthier individuals typically receive lower quotes, as they present lower risks to the insurer. Additionally, lifestyle choices such as smoking and engaging in high-risk activities could impact the premium.

Level Term Life Insurance is a type of life insurance where the death benefit remains constant throughout the policy term. The premiums also remain fixed during this period. This type of insurance is often chosen for its simplicity and predictability, making it easier for individuals to plan for the future.
Decreasing Term Life Insurance is a policy in which the death benefit decreases over the policy term. This type of insurance is often used to cover specific outstanding debts like mortgages. As the insured individual pays off the debt, the coverage decreases, aligning with the decreasing financial obligation.
Increasing Term Life Insurance is a policy in which the death benefit rises over time. This type of insurance is designed to account for inflation and the increasing financial needs of the beneficiaries. Premiums may also increase as the coverage expands.
Whole of Life Insurance, also known as permanent life insurance, provides coverage for the entire lifetime of the insured individual. Unlike term life insurance, it does not have a specific term limit. This type of insurance typically includes a cash value component that grows over time and can be accessed by the policyholder.
Joint Life Insurance is a policy that covers two individuals, usually a couple. The death benefit is paid out upon the death of the first insured person, after which the policy terminates. Joint Life Insurance can be either a first-to-die policy or a second-to-die (survivorship) policy, with the latter paying out upon the death of the second insured person.
Death in Service refers to a benefit provided by employers where employees are covered by a life insurance policy as part of their employment benefits. If an employee passes away while still in service with the company, a lump-sum payment is made to the employee’s beneficiaries.
As a single homeowner, taking out life insurance is a personal decision that depends on individual circumstances. While there may not be a spouse or dependents in the traditional sense, life insurance can still be valuable. It can help cover outstanding debts, such as a mortgage, ensuring that these financial responsibilities do not become a burden to family members or heirs. It can also be used to cover funeral expenses and leave a legacy for chosen beneficiaries. The type of life insurance and coverage amount would depend on the individual’s specific financial situation and goals.
