why I can’t open http://www.equitable.ca recently?
Hi Shawn,
Thanks for the note but I can open this link. I have not heard of issues with the Equitable Life website. Regards … Lorne
what if the person is missing is equitable going to pay whole amount?
Hi Lyn,
Equitable Life or any other life insurance company will pay a claim upon proof (i.e a death certificate) verifying the person has passed away.
