Question 1: "Why should I buy life insurance?"
Question 1: "Why should I buy life insurance?"
- We bear a heavy tax burden in Canada
- Life insurance receives favourable tax treatment, combining benefits of a principal residence (tax-free at death), RRSP (tax-sheltered growth), TFSA (tax-free access) and an investment line of credit (tax deductions)
- Allows much larger deposits for tax-sheltered growth than an RRSP or TFSA
- Life insurance provides funds at death to provide for your family
- Life insurance provides creditor protection when properly structured
- Life insurance provides funds to pay the taxes due on your estate (e.g., on RRSPs, capital gains)
- Life insurance skips probate tax and public scrutiny: proceeds go directly to your heirs, bypassing your will and estate
- Overlooked by the masses who prefer to “buy term and invest the difference”
- You can't tell when you'll die
- Your beneficiaries will thank you
