What is Life Insurance?

Life insurance is essentially a contract between you and an insurance company, in which you agree to pay a premium. The purpose of the policy is to help provide financial security in the form of a lump-sum, tax-free amount, paid to a designated beneficiary when you pass away. You're eligible to apply if you’re a Canadian citizen or resident1 and fall within the age requirements for the TD Insurance life insurance plan you choose.


Why Should I Buy Life Insurance?

In the event of your death, life insurance provides a death benefit payment to your designated beneficiaries, which they can use to help cover any of your family’s financial obligations. Your designated beneficiaries can use the money however they wish, for example:

  • Paying for your funeral expenses
  • Paying towards outstanding debts or mortgage
  • Maintaining their standard of living
  • Donating to charity
  • Replacing income lost
