Why do I need protection?

Why HomeProtector makes sense when it comes to protecting you and your family.

  1. Why do I need protection?
  2. Do I need more coverage if I already have coverage through work?
  3. Couldn't my estate just sell my assets if I die?
  4. Isn't term insurance better value?
 

1. Why do I need protection?

If you lose your job, any group disability insurance coverage through work terminates, you and your family could be left without coverage.

2. Do I need more coverage if I already have coverage through work?

Typically employers only provide coverage that amounts to 1 to 2 times your salary in the event of your death, and about two-thirds of your income if you become disabled.

  • Would you be able to manage with a third less income and increased expenses?
  • And, if you leave your job or become self-employed, you lose your coverage

HomeProtector life and disability insurance will take care of your debt while allowing your existing employee coverage to take care of your family.

3. Couldn't my estate just sell my assets if I die?

They could, but are those assets enough to cover your debts and look after your family's immediate and long-term needs? And what would happen if your family had to suddenly sell your assets in a down market to pay off your debts? HomeProtector life and disability insurance means that your existing financial plan can remain intact.

4. Isn't term insurance better value?

It's true that term life insurance can provide for your family's future and may be an important part of your financial plan. But HomeProtector is a quick, convenient and cost effective way to ensure your debts are looked after. The cost of HomeProtector versus a term policy is usually much lower over the life of the mortgage. Other features of HomeProtector are:

  • Premiums don't increase with age unless you refinance or increase your mortgage balance
  • Just a few short health questions to answer and in most cases no medical exam is required
  • Offers you the protection of single or joint life and disability coverage
