Life Insurance

Most financial experts agree that you should have enough life insurance to pay-of your debts, provide enough cash to settle your estate and provide money for unforeseen expenses and education. Finally, you should have enough insurance to create a pool of capital that could be used to replace your lost income in the event of your death. Sounds complicated? Its not if you have a broker on your side to help determine the right amounts of insurance.

As insurance brokers, TFG Global Insurance Solutions Ltd. can search the marketplace for the best value for your insurance dollar. Our advanced computer network provides us with rate and benefit comparisons from over 70 different insurers including hundreds of different plans, such as:

Disability Insurance

Will you be injured during your career? The Canadian Life and Health Association says that a woman age 35, for example, is about seven times more likely to suffer a disability than death before age 65.

Our firm helps employees, professionals and business owners protect their most valuable asset - their ability to earn an income. Most experts agree that you should have some level of disability insurance - whether in an individual or group plan. Most plans have a start date of 30 to 120 days after a disability starts. The coverage is almost always for sickness and injury with coverage until age 65.

Group Plans are always less expensive than individual plans, but the latter have better terms and conditions and the premiums are usually locked in to age 65. Such private plans are excellent for self-employed people and the terms and conditions of the plan are guaranteed and can't be changed by the insurance company. For professionals and executives, private plans offer an "own occupation" definition of disability. This means the insurance company can't make you work in another occupation based on your experience and training. This is an important feature for a dentist or doctor. Beware of Association Disability plans, as the terms, conditions and rates for these group plans can and do change at any time.

In Canada, if an individual pays for his or her premium, the disability benefits are payable tax-free. If the company pays, the benefits are taxable and should be grossed up to reflect this fact. Check your group plan to make sure there isn't a low maximum. If so, contact the our company for a Disability Top-Up Plan.

There are numerous options you can add to your private income protection plan:

• Future Income Rider - allows you to add more coverage without medical questions as long as your income warrants the coverage.
• Cost of Living Index - increases your benefit when disabled by the CPI index or a guaranteed percentage.
• Accidental Death and Dismemberment
• Return of Premium - returns 75% of premiums paid after 10 years if you have not claimed
• Partial Disability
• A separate plan to cover your Overhead Expenses - premiums are tax deductible in Canada
