WHY THIS INSURANCE?

Long-term protection,
not just an expense.

Permanent life insurance is often seen as just a cost. Yet it can combine protection, value accumulation and tax advantages in a single contract.

Unlike term insurance, it stays in force for life as long as the premiums set in the contract are paid. No renewal at an age when the premium climbs.

The right amount depends on your debts, the income to replace for your loved ones and your succession goals. Alexandre works it out with you, not with a generic formula.

YOUR QUESTIONS

Frequently asked questions

How much does permanent life insurance cost?

The cost varies based on your age, health, desired amount and product type. Alexandre prepares a personalized estimate at no cost.

What's the difference between term and permanent life insurance?

Term covers a defined period (10-30 years) at a lower premium, with no cash value. Permanent covers for life, can accumulate value and can offer tax advantages. The right choice depends on your goals.

Can I deduct the premium from my taxes?

Generally, no: life insurance premiums are usually not deductible, whether the policy is held by you or by your company, with some exceptions. Under corporate ownership, the company pays the premium, which can be advantageous depending on your structure. The tax treatment depends on who pays the premium and the structure; confirm with your accountant.

How does cash value work?

Under the contract, part of your premiums can accumulate inside the policy. This value can grow tax-sheltered, within the limits set by tax rules, and be accessed via a policy loan or partial withdrawal. A withdrawal may be taxable.

Is there a waiting period before being covered?

Generally, basic coverage starts at contract signing. Some specific clauses may include a waiting period - Alexandre explains this before any signing.

Can this insurance be held in a corporation?

Yes. Corporate ownership lets the company be the owner and beneficiary of the policy. Many entrepreneurs use it to protect their business and plan their taxes; the tax treatment depends on your situation, confirm with your accountant.

What happens if I stop paying my premiums?

It depends on your policy and the value already built up. Some contracts offer reduced coverage instead of a cancellation. Alexandre reviews your options before any decision.

Is permanent life insurance right for everyone?

No. It's built for a long-term horizon or a succession project. For a one-time need like a mortgage, term insurance often costs less.

What's the difference between a participating and non-participating policy?

A participating policy may pay dividends, which are not guaranteed and can grow your value. A non-participating policy offers values set in the contract, at a generally lower premium.

Can I hold more than one life insurance policy?

Yes. Many clients combine a permanent policy for succession with a term policy for a specific need, like a mortgage. Alexandre structures it around your priorities.
