PROTECTION SOLUTIONS
Protect what
matters most.
Prepare for what
you can't predict.
Life can change unexpectedly. The right protection strategy can help create financial options for you and the people who depend on you when illness, injury, death or other unexpected events affect your plans.
We start by understanding your responsibilities, priorities and budget before discussing the types of coverage that may fit your situation.

PROTECTION OPTIONS
Protection isn't one-size-fits-all.
Different events can create different financial challenges. Understanding the purpose of each type of protection can help you decide what deserves a closer look.
Life Insurance
Life insurance can help provide financial support to the people you leave behind and may help with responsibilities such as income replacement, debts, a mortgage, education needs or other family priorities.
Critical Illness Insurance
A covered critical illness can affect more than your health. Critical illness insurance may provide a lump-sum benefit that can help create financial flexibility while you focus on recovery.
Disability & Income Protection
Your ability to earn an income is an important financial asset. Disability insurance may help replace a portion of income if an illness or injury prevents you from working, subject to the policy terms.
Mortgage Protection
For many families, the mortgage is one of their largest financial responsibilities. Personal insurance can help create options for your household if an insured event affects your ability to meet that obligation.
Final Expense
Final expense coverage can help families prepare for certain end-of-life costs and reduce the amount loved ones may need to manage financially during a difficult time.
LIFE INSURANCE
Protect the people who depend on you.
Life insurance can help reduce the financial impact of your death on the people who depend on you. Depending on your needs, coverage may help with income replacement, debts, mortgage obligations, education costs, final expenses or other family priorities.
The type and amount of coverage that may be appropriate depends on your goals, responsibilities, budget and how long you expect the need for protection to last.
Different types for different needs.
Term Life Insurance
Shorter-term protection
Coverage is provided for a specific period, such as a fixed number of years or until a certain age. Term policies generally do not build cash value, and initial premiums are generally lower than permanent insurance premiums.
Often discussed for time-limited protection needs.
Whole Life Insurance
Permanent protection
Whole life is a form of permanent life insurance designed to provide lifetime coverage while the policy remains in effect. These policies often include a cash-value component, subject to the contract.
Designed for long-term protection needs.
Universal Life Insurance
Permanent coverage + investment component
Universal life combines permanent life insurance with an investment account. Values and results can vary based on the policy, investment choices, costs and performance.
May offer additional flexibility for suitable long-term needs.
CRITICAL ILLNESS PROTECTION
A diagnosis can affect more than your health.
Critical illness insurance may provide a lump-sum benefit if you are diagnosed with a covered condition and meet the requirements defined in the policy.
Because the benefit is generally paid directly to the policy owner, it may provide additional financial flexibility during treatment and recovery. How the benefit may be used depends on the policy and individual circumstances.
It may help create financial flexibility for:
✓ Time away from work
✓ Monthly household expenses
✓ Mortgage or debt payments
✓ Additional care or recovery expenses
✓ Family or caregiver needs
CRITICAL ILLNESS ≠ DISABILITY INSURANCE
Critical Illness
One-time lump-sum benefit for a qualifying covered condition.
Disability Insurance
Generally designed to replace a portion of income when disability prevents you from working.
DISABILITY & INCOME PROTECTION
Your income supports more than your lifestyle.
Your ability to earn an income is an important part of your financial foundation. If an illness or injury prevents you from working, disability insurance may provide replacement income according to the terms of the policy.
The right amount and type of coverage depends on factors such as your income, occupation, existing workplace benefits, financial commitments and how long you may need protection.
What does your income help pay for?
Mortgage or Rent
Monthly Bills
Everyday Living
Family Expenses
Savings Goals
Debt Payments
It may be worth reviewing your income protection if you:
✓ Depend on your income to meet monthly expenses
✓ Have a mortgage, rent or other major obligations
✓ Have family members who rely on your earnings
✓ Are self-employed
✓ Have limited or no disability coverage through work
Already covered through work?
Employer disability benefits can be an important part of your protection. An individual review can help you understand what coverage you already have and whether there may be gaps to consider.
MORTGAGE PROTECTION
Your home is more than a mortgage payment.
For many households, a mortgage is one of their largest ongoing financial obligations. Protection planning can help you consider how that responsibility could be managed if death, illness or disability affects the household's finances.
LIFE
What happens to the household if one income disappears?
CRITICAL ILLNESS
Could the family manage the mortgage during treatment and recovery?
DISABILITY
What if illness or injury interrupts employment income?
Already have mortgage insurance? We can start by understanding the coverage you currently have.
Two different ways mortgage-related protection may be structured
Optional Mortgage Insurance
A lender may offer optional life, critical illness or disability insurance connected to the mortgage. Depending on the coverage, benefits may help make mortgage payments or help pay the outstanding mortgage balance when an insured event meets the policy requirements.
Coverage, limits and eligibility depend on the certificate or policy.
Personal Life Insurance
With an individual term or permanent life insurance policy, you choose the coverage amount and name the beneficiary. If a death benefit becomes payable, the beneficiary can generally decide how to use the proceeds, including toward the mortgage or other family needs.
The appropriate structure depends on your needs and situation.
Not the same as mortgage default insurance
Optional mortgage protection should not be confused with mortgage loan insurance (often called mortgage default insurance). Mortgage loan insurance protects the lender against borrower default and may be required in certain mortgage situations, including generally when the down payment is below 20%.
FINAL EXPENSE
Planning ahead can make a difficult time
a little easier.
Final expense coverage is generally intended to help provide funds that loved ones may use toward certain costs that arise after death.
The appropriate amount and type of coverage depends on your goals, existing insurance, budget, health, age and the expenses you would like your family to be prepared for.
What might families want to prepare for?
✓Funeral or memorial costs
✓Final household bills
✓Outstanding small debts
✓Other family or estate-related expenses
Already have life insurance?
Final expense planning does not always require a separate policy. A review can help you understand the coverage you already have and whether there is a specific need you still want to address.
