Whole life, non participating and universal life using 0 interest rate assumption, all quick pay (10 years). All but one policy is paid up and that one was a conversion of a T5 policy that was done in 2015.
We are good savers and have no children. We began our policies in the late 1970’s and were buying enough coverage to allow my wife to continue our lifestyle in the event of my early death. We now have no real need for the coverage but hate to give up a good thing.

Assuming that they will only need insurance for 10 years or less for their family income needs. Few, if any, of our clients have ever been in a position to cancel their insurance after the initial 10 year term although many delude themselves by thinking, just another 10 years. Many, as they approach normal retirement realize that they haven’t saved enough and when they die their spouse is often in a position where more funds than are available are needed.
Disability Income Replacement; Loss of Future Earnings Disability coverage; Critical Illness Insurance; Business Overhead Disability Insurance; Out of Province / Out of Country Travel Insurance.
