Financial protection plus a source of cash
If you're looking for a way to maximize the amount that you leave to your loved ones and offset the impact that taxes could have on the value of your estate, consider whole life insurance.
What is whole life insurance?
Whole life insurance plans offer permanent life insurance protection that comes with fixed level premiums which are payable for a given number of years as well as insurance protection that’s there for life.
Whole life insurance can be ideal, if you're considering planning your estate and need a source of funds that will help your heirs to:
- cover your final expenses
- replace your lost future income, in case of your death
- offset the taxes which will become payable on your RRSPFootnote 1
- minimize the impact of taxes on other taxable assets in your estate – such as the capital gains tax on the increase in value of your cottageFootnote 1
- leave a financial gift in your name to your favourite charity
With BMO Insurance Whole Life you'll get:
- guaranteed premiums that are payable for 10 years, 20 years or to age 100
