When should you get term life insurance?

 

You’re expecting or you already have a family

As a new or expecting parent, life insurance can help protect your growing family’s financial future. Term life insurance provides peace of mind, ensuring that your loved ones can have the necessary financial resources if the unexpected occurs.

Should you pass away while your coverage is active, life insurance can provide a tax-free lump sum payment to your beneficiaries. This payment can be used to replace your income and cover various life expenses, including household bills, childcare, and tuition costs.

You’re retired or plan to retire soon, but don’t have enough savings

If you’re a retiree or getting ready to retire, life insurance acts as a valuable financial safety net for your partner, children, or anyone else who relies on you financially. In the event of your death, a term life insurance payout can handle expenses like funeral costs or help pay off debts. Additionally, it can assist in covering day-to-day expenses or could act as an inheritance for your beneficiaries.

You have a partner and you rely on each other’s incomes

Partners and spouses who rely on each other’s incomes may encounter financial difficulties when one spouse passes away. However, life insurance can serve as a valuable solution to bridge this income gap. It can provide essential financial security to the surviving spouse, ensuring they can maintain their current lifestyle, cover living expenses, settle outstanding debts or take some time off.

You own a home

Term life insurance offers a lump-sum payment to help your family cover the mortgage and other living expenses. This ensures that they can continue living in the home, even if you’re no longer there to contribute financially.

You own a business

Life insurance goes beyond protecting your family and loved ones; it also serves as a safeguard for your business. If the unexpected happens, the payouts from term life insurance can provide support to your business partners, employees, and even help pay off business loans.

You have outstanding debts

Did you know that when you pass away, any outstanding debts like a mortgage, car loan, or student loans can affect what’s left over for your loved ones? That’s where term life insurance comes in. It can help protect your family and loved ones from the financial burden of these debts.

You have financial dependents

Term life insurance is a valuable tool to safeguard your loved ones and those who rely on your financial support, like elderly parents or disabled family members. With a lump-sum payout, you can rest assured that their needs will be met, even if you’re no longer here.

FAQ: Term life insurance in Canada

Once your term life insurance ends, the policy expires, and you won’t have coverage anymore. It’s important to know that if something happens to you after your term ends, your beneficiaries won’t receive a payout.

But there are options when your term life insurance ends. Depending on your policy terms, you could renew for another term or convert it to a permanent life insurance policy. These options allow you to continue your life insurance coverage beyond the initial term, ensuring ongoing protection for your loved ones.

With term life insurance, your coverage comes to an end when the chosen term expires. For example, if you’re 32 and have a 30-year term policy, your coverage will end when you turn 62.

CAA Term Life Insurance offers flexible term lengths from 10 to 30 years, providing coverage until you’re 85 years young! Whether you need a shorter term or a longer one, you can find the best fit for your needs. The maximum age to apply with the shortest term is 75.

Unlike whole or universal life insurance, term life insurance does not accumulate cash value. When your coverage expires, you won’t receive a refund or any return on your investment. Think of term life insurance as similar to car or home insurance; just like you don’t get a refund on your car insurance if you don’t make a claim, the same principle applies to term life insurance.

Many employees have a basic level of group life insurance coverage through workplace benefits. Typically, employer group life insurance coverage ranges between one to two times your annual salary. Depending on your financial responsibilities and whether you have children, this coverage may or may not be sufficient to meet your needs.

To ensure you have a robust financial safety net, term life insurance can complement your employer group coverage. Unlike employer group insurance, which terminates when you leave the company and can be modified by your employer, term life insurance gives you control over your insurance coverage.

Term life insurance can provide a financial payout to your chosen beneficiaries. It’s a popular choice for covering your loved ones and those who depend on you financially, such as your spouse, children, or elderly parents.

If you pass away within the specified term, your beneficiaries receive a lump-sum payout, subject to the policy’s terms. This payout, also known as the death benefit, acts as a safety net during a challenging time. It can help with various needs like replacing lost income, covering childcare expenses, settling the mortgage, and addressing other necessities.

Yes. Term life insurance is designed to provide protection against accidental death as well as various other causes. However, there are a couple of important points to keep in mind.

Firstly, it’s worth noting that term life insurance typically doesn’t cover suicide within the first two years of the policy (this is a standard practice in the industry). Secondly, each insurance provider has their own terms and conditions outlined in their policies. It’s always a good idea to carefully read your policy to ensure you have a clear understanding of what’s covered and what is not.

The best time to consider term life insurance is when you have financial dependents or larger financial obligations. Perhaps you’ve started a family, you’re getting married, or have a mortgage.

It’s worth noting that the earlier you purchase term life insurance, the more affordable your rates will be. As we age, the risk of facing severe health issues or passing away increases, which in turn affects insurance rates.

With CAA Life Insurance, a majority of applicants won’t need a medical exam. However, if you do require one, it’s advisable to complete it at a younger age.

Never miss a payment by securely setting up pre-authorized monthly payments for your policy. Premiums can be paid using Visa debit, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, or Diner’s Club credit cards.

In Canada, most insurance providers typically require applicants to be Canadian citizens or residents to qualify for term life insurance. However, there are a few providers that may consider applications from non-Canadians. In such cases, the available coverage options might be somewhat more limited. For CAA Term Life insurance coverage, applicants must be Canadian citizens or residents and must sign their contract while in Canada, rather than overseas.

When you apply for term life insurance, you may need to undergo a medical exam to assess your overall health. Based on this information, insurers can determine the cost of your policy and identify any potential risks. It’s all part of getting you the best coverage possible.

Determining whether a medical exam is required depends on factors such as your insurance company, age, and desired coverage. If you’re under 40 and generally healthy, it is often not be necessary. With CAA Term Life insurance, it is anticipated that the majority of applicants will have no additional medical requirements for approval.
