NEW QUESTION # 68
Leanna has an accidental death and dismemberment policy for $175,000 that she purchased through Leo, her financial advisor, four years ago. Leanna works as a heavy-duty mechanic at a local diesel mechanic shop in town. Leanna was in a tragic accident that involved a hoist issue which resulted in the loss of one of her legs.
How much benefit will Leanna receive when she makes a claim?
- A. $87,500
- B. $116,725
- C. $131,250
- D. $175,000
Answer: A
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:
AD&D policies typically pay50% of the policy valuefor the loss of one limb. Therefore, $175,000 × 50% =
$87,500. The LLQP outlines thatfull benefits are for death or multiple limb loss, while partial payouts apply to single dismemberments.
NEW QUESTION # 69
Jane took out a $100,000 Term 20 life insurance policy on herself when she got her first baby. She does not work and has no group insurance coverage. Five years later, she got another two newborn babies and needed greater insurance coverage to support her children financially in case of her own death. Jane talked to her insurance agent about having more coverage and, rather than having multiple policies, she decided to have one policy for the total coverage amount. She made an application to the life insurance company to change the coverage from $100,000 to $300,000. She is still in good health and the request for change has been approved.
One year later, Jane took her own life after losing her husband in a tragic car accident. Based on the situation, how will the insurance company pay out the claim?
- A. The full $300,000 will be paid out because the policy has been in force for five years before the suicide.
- B. No benefit will be paid because the policy has been in force for less than two years.
- C. Only $200,000 will be paid out because the maximum payout is $100,000 per year.
- D. Only the first $100,000 will be paid out because that coverage has been in force for more than two years.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation with Exact Extract from Documents and Guides:
TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)notes that life insurance policies include a suicide clause, typically denying benefits if suicide occurs within two years of the policy's issue or a significant change (e.g., coverage increase). Jane's original $100,000 policy was in force for over five years, beyond the two-year suicide exclusion. The increase to $300,000, approved one year before her suicide, restarts the exclusion for the additional $200,000. Thus, only the original $100,000-past its exclusion period-is payable. A (arbitrary limit) and C (full payout) misapply the clause, and D (no benefit) ignores the original coverage's duration. B is correct.

NEW QUESTION # 70
Sandrine, CEO of her own company for over 15 years, regularly consults you about the defined benefit pension plan she set up four years ago. Her company is going through unexpected difficulties, and she would like to know under which circumstances an employer can terminate such a plan (she is fully aware that this could go against employees' expectations).
Which of the following answers are you most likely to give her?
- A. The pension plan can be terminated if the employer/company goes bankrupt.
- B. The pension plan can be terminated in the event the number of plan members grows much faster than what was planned.
- C. The pension plan can be terminated if the employer/company is sold to another company with an identical pension plan.
- D. The pension plan can be terminated in the event the employer/company grows much faster than what was planned.
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the LLQP Group Savings and Pension Plans curriculum, a Defined Benefit Pension Plan (DBPP) represents a significant long-term obligation for an employer. In a DBPP, the employer guarantees a specific retirement benefit to employees, typically based on years of service and earnings. As a result, the employer bears the investment risk and funding responsibility. Because of this obligation, pension legislation places strict limits on when and how such a plan may be terminated.
The most clear-cut circumstance under which a defined benefit pension plan may be terminated is when the employer becomes insolvent or goes bankrupt. In this situation, the employer is no longer financially capable of maintaining the plan. Pension standards legislation recognizes that continuing the plan is no longer feasible, and the plan may be wound up. This is why Option C is correct. Even in bankruptcy, however, employee pension rights are protected to the extent possible, and pension assets must be distributed according to legislated priorities.
Options A and B are incorrect because business growth-whether faster company growth or a rapid increase in plan membership-does not justify terminating a DBPP. In fact, growth often strengthens a company's ability to support pension obligations rather than undermining it. Pension plans are designed to accommodate changes in workforce size and business expansion.
Option D is also incorrect. When a company is sold to another employer with an identical or comparable pension plan, pension legislation generally allows the plan to be continued or transferred, rather than terminated. The intent of pension regulation is to preserve employees' accrued benefits, not eliminate them due to corporate restructuring.
The LLQP curriculum emphasizes that DBPPs are highly regulated precisely because employees rely on them for retirement security. Termination is therefore permitted only in exceptional circumstances, with employer insolvency being the most definitive example.
Accordingly, the most accurate and LLQP-compliant answer is Option C.
NEW QUESTION # 71
(Germaine, a shareholder-manager, already has a group RRSP for her employees. She now wants to establish a second group savings plan that allows employees to withdraw money at any time without additional taxes or penalties.
Which plan fits her needs?)
- A. ADBPP.
- B. A group TFSA.
- C. APRPP.
- D. ADPSP.
Answer: B
Explanation:
Agroup TFSAallows employees to withdraw fundsat any time without triggering taxes or penalties, meeting Germaine's requirement perfectly.
Exact Extract:
"TFSAs allow contributions with after-tax dollars and withdrawals at any time without tax penalties, making them ideal for flexible saving plans." (Reference:Segfunds-E313-2020-12-7ED, Chapter 1.3.11.2 Group Plans)
NEW QUESTION # 72
Emma, an employee at MagicLand, is part of the company's group registered retirement savings plan (RRSP).
During her tenure, she accumulated over $70,000 in the plan and all of her contributions are invested in segregated funds. She meets with Jun to invest in an individual segregated fund. Jun tells her that there are some differences between group and individual segregated funds.
How are Emma's group segregated funds DIFFERENT from an individual segregated fund?
- A. They have higher sales charges.
- B. They offer death benefit guarantees at a special rate.
- C. They charge switching fees.
- D. They have lower management expense ratios (MERs).
Answer: D
Explanation:
Group segregated funds typically have lower Management Expense Ratios (MERs) than individual segregated funds because group plans benefit from economies of scale and pooled investment options. LLQP highlights that group plans often have reduced fees compared to individual plans due to collective investment and reduced administrative costs.
Options A and B are incorrect as group plans typically feature lower costs and don't often charge switching fees. Option C is incorrect as individual segregated funds typically have more flexible death benefit guarantee options, not special rates in group plans.
NEW QUESTION # 73
Valerie, age 42, recently left her job after 15 years of service. She participated in a defined contribution pension plan and had accumulated benefits amounting to $88,000, eligible for transfer into a registered contract. What must Valerie do with this money?
- A. Transfer this sum into a LIRA and convert the accumulated value into a life annuity or LIF no later than December 31 of the year she turns 71
- B. Transfer this sum into a LIRA and convert the accumulated value into a life annuity or RRIF no later than December 31 of the year she turns 71
- C. Transfer this sum into a RRIF and start withdrawing annuity payments no later than the end of the following calendar year
- D. Transfer this sum into an RRSP and convert the accumulated value into a life annuity or RRIF no later than December 31 of the year she turns 71
Answer: A
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation: Pension funds from a defined contribution plan, upon leaving employment, must follow Quebec's Supplemental Pension Plans Act (SPPA) and federal tax rules.
The $88,000 is "locked-in," meaning it cannot be cashed out and must be transferred to a Locked-In Retirement Account (LIRA) to preserve its pension status (SPPA,Section 98). A LIRA restricts access until retirement, when it must be converted into a life annuity or Life Income Fund (LIF) by December 31 of the year the holder turns 71 (Income Tax Act, Section 146). Option D correctly identifies the LIRA and LIF
/annuity options. Option A (RRSP) applies to non-locked-in funds, not pension benefits. Option B's "RRIF" is incorrect, as locked-in funds use a LIF in Quebec. Option C (immediate RRIF withdrawal) violates locking- in rules and age requirements. The Ethics manual requires advisors to clarify locked-in fund rules for clients.

NEW QUESTION # 74
Kiril is the sole proprietor of a small gym with five employees. His sales manager, Antoine, is a former Olympic athlete, responsible for generating close to 50% of all revenues for the gym. Thanks to Antoine's popular social media presence, the gym is profitable and growing rapidly. However, Kiril has concerns about the future profitability of his gym should Antoine become ill or injured since the other employees are not local celebrities and would not be able to replace Antoine's contribution to the business.
Which of the following types of insurance policy would protect the gym if Antoine were unable to work?
- A. Disability business overhead expense insurance on Antoine.
- B. Business loan protection disability insurance on Antoine.
- C. Key person disability insurance on Antoine.
- D. Disability buyout insurance.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Key person disability insuranceprovides financial protection to a business against the loss of a crucial employee due to disability. Antoine is a critical figure for Kiril's gym, generating a significant portion of revenue and attracting clientele due to his public profile. This policy would compensate the gym for lost income and potentially cover additional costs incurred while attempting to replace Antoine's unique contributions. The LLQP materials discuss key person insurance as essential for protecting a business against the financial impact of losing a high-value employee, making this option the most suitable for Kiril's needs.
NEW QUESTION # 75
(Jim is buying a life annuity with insurance settlement money due to a disabling accident. He declines a guarantee period to maximize monthly payments.
Which of the following must the agent be sure to note on the application?)
- A. Marilyn as the beneficiary.
- B. Jim as the beneficiary.
- C. Marilyn as the joint annuitant.
- D. Jim as the annuitant.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Since Jim is buying the annuity for himself and will receive the payments,he must be named as the annuitanton the application.
Exact Extract:
"The annuitant is the person on whose life the annuity is based and who is entitled to receive the periodic payments. In this case, it must be Jim." (Reference:Segfunds-E313-2020-12-7ED, Chapter 3.2.2 Lives Covered#45:2 Segfunds-E313-2020-12-7ED.

NEW QUESTION # 76
Tyler, a group insurance agent, is meeting with Yolanda, the director of his new group insurance client, Compact Funds Inc., to set up the company's plan. Compact Funds employs over 30 employees, and Tyler recommends that they implement a contributory plan. Yolanda would like to understand what this means.
Which of the following statements about contributory plans is CORRECT?
- A. The insurer will bill Compact Funds, and they will deduct the requisite premium from each employee's paycheck.
- B. The insurer will bill Compact Funds and each employee individually.
- C. The insurer will bill each employee directly, and they will pay 100% of the premiums.
- D. The insurer will bill each employee who will then ask for Compact Funds to credit a portion of the premiums on the payroll.
Answer: A
Explanation:
In acontributory group insurance plan, the cost of the premiums is shared between the employer and the employees. For Compact Funds Inc., which has over 30 employees, implementing a contributory plan means that both the employer and the employees contribute to the premium costs. According to LLQP guidelines on group insurance plans, the process usually involves the employer (Compact Funds in this case) receiving the bill for the total premium from the insurer. The employer then deducts the employees' share of the premium directly from their paychecks. This allows for efficient billing and ensures that premiums are paid in a consolidated manner by the employer, with the deduction process managed through payroll.
Option B is correct as it accurately describes the billing and payment arrangement in a contributory group insurance plan, where Compact Funds is billed directly by the insurer and then deducts the employee portion from payroll, streamlining the process and keeping it consistent with standard practices as outlined in the LLQP content on group insurance.
NEW QUESTION # 77
Having recently gotten married, Eddie and his spouse are currently looking for a home. They believe it could take up to 12 months for them to compare houses and make a firm purchase decision. Eddie has some RRSP and TFSA savings that are currently invested in equity funds. Now in his mid-thirties, he has been investing for the past 10 years and is familiar with how the stock markets work. He generally feels comfortable with high-risk investments. To help with the down payment, Eddie's parents provided him with $100,000 cash.
Eddie is thinking of investing this money until the actual home purchase but is not sure what the best course of action would be.
What should Eddie do with the cash from his parents to fulfill his objective?
- A. Put the money in a one-year GIC.
- B. Invest the money in an equity fund.
- C. Put the money in a savings account.
- D. Invest the money in a bond fund.
Answer: A
Explanation:
According to the LLQP Investment and Savings principles, the time horizon and purpose of funds are more important than an investor's general risk tolerance when determining suitability. Although Eddie is comfortable with high-risk investments for long-term goals, the $100,000 provided by his parents has a very specific, short-term objective: serving as a home down payment within approximately 12 months.
For short-term goals, the LLQP curriculum stresses that capital preservation and certainty should take priority over growth. Market-based investments such as equity funds or bond funds can fluctuate significantly in value over short periods. A market downturn-even a temporary one-could materially reduce the value of Eddie's down payment just when he needs it. Therefore, Options C and D are inappropriate, regardless of Eddie's comfort with risk.
A regular savings account (Option A) offers high liquidity and safety, but typically provides very low returns.
While safety is important, Eddie knows that he will not need the funds for up to a year. The LLQP study guide explains that when funds are not needed immediately but are required within a defined short-term period, short-term guaranteed investments are often the most suitable solution.
A one-year GIC meets all of Eddie's needs. It provides full capital protection, a guaranteed rate of return, and a maturity that aligns perfectly with his expected home-buying timeline. Because the purchase horizon is known and relatively short, locking the funds in for one year does not create a liquidity problem. This approach protects Eddie from market risk while still allowing him to earn a modest return on the cash.
The LLQP curriculum emphasizes that funds earmarked for major short-term purchases-such as a home down payment-should not be exposed to market volatility, even for investors with high risk tolerance.
Therefore, based on LLQP-approved suitability principles, the correct and fully verified answer is Option B:
Put the money in a one-year GIC.
NEW QUESTION # 78
Last year, Ezekiel purchased a $100,000 life insurance policy and named his wife Jolene as an irrevocable beneficiary of the policy. Last week, Ezekiel returned home early from a business trip and decided to surprise his wife instead of calling ahead. He arrived at midnight and not wanting to wake her, entered the house from the back door and left the lights off. Not expecting the intruder to be her husband, Jolene stabbed him in the heart with a kitchen knife. She quickly realized her mistake and called 911. Unfortunately, Ezekiel died in the hospital from his wounds. The police deemed Ezekiel's death as accidental, and no charges were filed. Will the insurer pay the death benefit?
- A. No, because Jolene caused his death.
- B. No, because he died within the first 2 years of purchasing the policy.
- C. Yes, because Jolene is the designated irrevocable beneficiary.
- D. Yes, because Ezekiel's death was accidental, Jolene did not intend to kill him.
Answer: D
Explanation:
In situations where an accidental death occurs and the beneficiary is involved, the intent behind the act is critical in determining whether the death benefit will be paid. Since Jolene's actions were not intentional and Ezekiel's death was ruled accidental by the police, she did not willfully cause his death. According to LLQP guidelines, a death benefit is typically payable when the insured's death is accidental and not due to intentional harm by the beneficiary.
Therefore, as Jolene acted without intent to harm Ezekiel, the insurer will likely pay the death benefit despite her being the cause of his accidental death.
NEW QUESTION # 79
After meeting with his advisor Monica, Tom agrees to apply for a $50,000 whole life insurance policy.
Monica tells him that the monthly premium will be $40 per month. Monica is advised by underwriting that Tom qualifies for an additional $10,000 critical illness rider, and that the new premium would be $50 per month. Monica advises underwriting that Tom accepts the additional coverage without speaking with him first, because it is such a good deal and great coverage, he won't mind. When Tom finds out what she has accepted on his behalf, without his knowledge, he is upset and wants to lodge a complaint to someone other than the insurance company and Monica; he wants to speak with an independent third party. He finds the contact information for the local regulatory authority. What are some of the responsibilities the regulatory authority has in protecting clients like Tom?
- A. Promoting transparency, reimbursing financial losses suffered by clients, and giving clients avenues to resolve individual complaints.
- B. Promoting transparency, educating the public, and organizing class action lawsuits against insurers.
- C. Promoting transparency, taking action against breaches of conduct, and giving clients avenues to resolve individual complaints (e.g., OmbudService for Life and Health Insurance).
- D. Taking action against breaches of conduct, increasing the public's financial knowledge (such as understanding financial concepts), and closing insurance offices that are non-compliant.
Answer: C
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation with Exact Extract from Documents and Guides:
TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)outlines that provincial/territorial regulatory authorities oversee insurance agents and protect consumers by promoting transparency, enforcing ethical conduct, and facilitating dispute resolution. Monica's actions (accepting coverage without consent) breach client autonomy and disclosure rules. Regulatory authorities investigate such conduct and refer clients to independent bodies like the OmbudService for Life and Health Insurance for complaints. They don't reimburse losses (B), organize lawsuits (C), or focus solely on public education and office closures (D).
Option A aligns with their role, making it correct.

NEW QUESTION # 80
Insurance of persons representative Veronique is meeting clients referred by an acquaintance for the first time.
Observing some suspicious behaviours on their part, Veronique is thinking about reporting the transaction to the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada (FINTRAC). Which behaviours are signs of suspicious transactions?
- A. The clients seem interested in knowing the long-term benefits of the transaction, which is simple, and the amounts involved seem very high given their apparent financial situation
- B. The clients are in a hurry, do not seem interested in knowing the long-term benefits of the transaction, and want to pay the amount due in cash
- C. The clients ask a lot of questions about internal controls and the amounts involved seem very high given their apparent financial situation
- D. The clients are in a hurry, the planned transaction is fairly simple, and they want to pay the amount due in cash
Answer: B
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation: Under the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act (PCMLTFA), insurance representatives must report suspicious transactions to FINTRAC (Section 7). FINTRAC guidelines list red flags: urgency without justification, disinterest in product details, and cash payments, especially if inconsistent with client profile. Option C-clients in a hurry, uninterested in long-term benefits, and insisting on cash-matches these indicators, suggesting potential money laundering. Option A (questions about controls) may indicate curiosity or caution, not necessarily suspicion. Option B (hurry and cash) is less conclusive without disinterest in benefits. Option D (interest in benefits) contradicts typical laundering behavior. The Ethics manual requires vigilance against financial crime, supporting Veronique's duty to report option C.

NEW QUESTION # 81
(Ulysses, aged 35, is a risk taker who likes to concentrate investments in specific industries expecting higher returns long term.
Which feature of segregated funds will be most appealing to Ulysses?)
- A. Resets
- B. Death benefit guarantee
- C. Right of rescission
- D. Creditor protection
Answer: A
Explanation:
Resetsallow theguaranteed amountof a segregated fund contract to beadjusted upwardto lock in market gains. This feature is highly attractive for risk-tolerant investors like Ulysses because it secures gains without sacrificing the original guarantee.
Exact Extract:
"Resetting the maturity and death benefit guarantees upward allows investors to lock in market gains, which can appeal to those investing in volatile, high-risk sectors." (Reference:Segfunds-E313-2020-12-7ED, Chapter 2.1.2 Growth Secured by Reset)
NEW QUESTION # 82
Laraine wants to purchase an Individual Variable Insurance Contract (IVIC) because of the death benefit guarantee as she has been ill. She has decided on a segregated fund which has, as its underlying asset, units of a mutual fund that invests in North American common shares. Her insurance agent, Jeffrey, wants her to understand key issues before she completes and signs the application. What should Jeffrey do?
- A. Provide her with the summary information folder for the segregated fund.
- B. Tell her she must complete a medical questionnaire which will be attached to the application.
- C. Provide her with the prospectus issued for the underlying mutual fund units.
- D. Tell her she has a 10-day "free look" to review the contract.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation with Exact Extract from Documents and Guides:
An IVIC, such as a segregated fund, is an insurance product with investment components, and agents are required to ensure clients understand its features. TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)mandates that agents provide a summary information folder (or similar disclosure document) specific to the segregated fund, outlining its risks, benefits, and guarantees (like the death benefit). A prospectus (A) is for mutual funds, not segregated funds, which have distinct disclosure requirements. While a 10-day "free look" period (C) exists, it's not the primary disclosure step before signing. A medical questionnaire (D) may be required but isn't about understanding the product. Jeffrey's duty is to ensure Laraine understands the segregated fund via the summary information folder, making B correct.

NEW QUESTION # 83
Larry, an insurance agent, meets with Ethan, a freelance photographer, to review his insurance needs. Larry tells Ethan that he wants to collect all pertinent financial information to prepare a net worth statement for Ethan.
Why does Larry want to prepare Ethan's net worth statement?
- A. To have enough information to identify where Ethan spends his money.
- B. To determine how much Ethan can spend on accident and sickness insurance premiums.
- C. To determine Ethan's various sources of income.
- D. To determine if Ethan has enough resources to cover medical expenses if he had a medical emergency.
Answer: D
Explanation:
Anet worth statementassesses an individual's total financial assets and liabilities, providing insight into their overall financial health. For Ethan, as a freelance photographer, understanding his net worth is essential to determine whether he has sufficient resources to manage unexpected expenses, such as medical costs from a potential emergency. This assessment helps Larry gauge Ethan's ability to withstand financial shocks, which is crucial when planning for accident and sickness insurance coverage. While cash flow statements provide details on income and expenses, net worth statements are specifically used to evaluate financial resources available for emergencies.
NEW QUESTION # 84
Abishola purchases segregated funds from her insurance agent Bob. Before finalizing the transaction, she tells Bob that she will need the funds in a few months to make a down payment on a condo. Later, when Abishola calls to withdraw her funds, Bob informs her that she will incur a fee for withdrawing her funds prematurely.
Abishola complains to Bob, and then to Bob's supervisor, without receiving a satisfactory response. To which organization can Abishola escalate her complaint?
- A. Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada.
- B. Assuris.
- C. OmbudService for Life and Health Insurance.
- D. Canadian Council of Insurance Regulators.
Answer: C
Explanation:
The OmbudService for Life and Health Insurance (OLHI) provides a platform for consumers to resolve disputes related to life and health insurance products in Canada. If Abishola is dissatisfied with the responses from her insurance agent and his supervisor, she can escalate her complaint to the OLHI, which offers a neutral and independent review of disputes concerning insurance products like segregated funds.
Other organizations mentioned, such as Assuris, focus on protecting policyholders in cases of insurer insolvency, not individual complaints.
NEW QUESTION # 85
Vintage Style Inc. is a clothing company with 20 employees participating in its group retirement and group insurance plan. Premiums for the group insurance plan are calculated on previous claims. If the benefits paid are lower than anticipated, the premiums may decrease at renewal. However, if the benefits paid are higher than anticipated, the premiums payable may be subject to an increase.
Which of the following funding formulas does Vintage use in its group insurance plan?
- A. Administrative services only.
- B. Non-refund accounting.
- C. Claims experience.
- D. Refund accounting.
Answer: D
Explanation:
The description of Vintage Style Inc.'s group insurance plan indicates that therefund accountingmethod is used. In refund accounting, premiums are adjusted based on the actual claims experience. If claims are lower than expected, the insurer may issue a refund or reduce future premiums. Conversely, if claims exceed expectations, premiums may increase at renewal. This funding formula is commonly used in group plans to align premium costs with the actual risk and claims experience of the group, which is consistent with the plan characteristics mentioned in the LLQP material.
NEW QUESTION # 86
When Tim and Patricia were common-law spouses, they met with an insurance agent, Aelia, to purchase life insurance policies of $100,000 each, naming each other as beneficiaries of their policies. Five years later, Patricia leaves Tim to be with her personal trainer, Thomas. A year later, Patricia and Thomas marry, and Patricia gives birth to their baby, Cedrick. Tragically, just before Cedrick's 12th birthday, Patricia dies in a fiery car crash. She never modified her beneficiary designation.
Shortly after the crash, Thomas calls Aelia to inform her that Patricia has died and that he wants to claim the death benefit on her life insurance policy.
Who will receive the $100,000 death benefit?
- A. Patricia's estate
- B. Cedrick
- C. Thomas
- D. Tim
Answer: D
Explanation:
Since Patricia did not modify the beneficiary designation on her life insurance policy after separating from Tim, he remains the named beneficiary. Under LLQP guidelines, the original beneficiary designation stands unless explicitly changed by the policyholder. This means that,despite Patricia's remarriage and the birth of her child Cedrick, Tim remains the beneficiary and will receive the $100,000 death benefit.
Beneficiary designations on life insurance policies are not automatically altered by life events such as marriage or the birth of a child. Therefore, in the absence of any updates, Tim remains the beneficiary as per Patricia's original designation.
NEW QUESTION # 87
Omar and Martha are common-law spouses employed by a company that has a group life and disability insurance plan. Omar has named Martha his beneficiary while Martha has named Omar as her beneficiary.
Omar and Martha got drunk one Saturday night, stole a car, and decided to rob a convenience store. As they drove away from the store, Omar hit a light post. He becamepermanently disabled while Martha died at the scene. What will happen when Omar submits claim forms for disability and death benefits?
- A. The insurer will not pay the death benefit to Omar and will not pay him a disability benefit.
- B. The insurer will pay the death benefit to Omar but will not pay him a disability benefit.
- C. The insurer will not pay the death benefit to Omar but will pay him a disability benefit.
- D. The insurer will pay the death benefit to Omar and will pay him a disability benefit.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation with Exact Extract from Documents and Guides:
Under Canadian common law and insurance principles, claims can be denied if the insured's death or disability results from illegal activities. TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law) notes that exclusions in group insurance policies often include losses due to criminal acts. Here, Omar and Martha were engaged in theft and robbery-illegal activities-when the accident occurred. Martha's death and Omar's disability directly resulted from this criminal behavior. As a result, the insurer can deny both the death benefit (payable to Omar as Martha's beneficiary) and Omar's disability benefit under the policy's exclusions. Paying either benefit (A, C, D) contradicts the principle that insurance does not cover losses from illegal acts. Thus, B is correct.

NEW QUESTION # 88
Akeno is a 65-year-old retired accountant. He is divorced and has a 40-year-old son who is financially independent. Thanks to years of diligent savings, Akeno now enjoys a comfortable retirement. In addition to his pension income, he has over $300,000 invested in shares in his non-registered account. He lives in a mortgage-free home valued at $700,000 and owns a cottage valued at $500,000. The mortgage on the cottage is $100,000. Akeno purchased the homes 30 years ago when housing prices were low. It is important to him to donate $100,000 to the Alzheimer's Association when he dies. What is the GREATEST financial risk that would arise in the event of Akeno's death?
- A. Income tax.
- B. Estate creation.
- C. Debt repayment.
- D. Loss of income.
Answer: A
Explanation:
Akeno's greatest financial risk upon death isIncome tax, primarily due to the capital gains taxes that would be incurred on the disposition of his non-registered investment assets and potentially his real estate properties.
With significant investments and property appreciation, there may be substantial tax liabilities upon his death.
Other options, such as loss of income and debt repayment, are less relevant given his financial stability and the low outstanding debt on the cottage mortgage. Estate creation is not a concern as he has sufficient assets.
NEW QUESTION # 89
Aari and Jonila are a married couple in their late sixties. They both enjoy a comfortable retirement. Both receive regular payments from their pension plans, Old Age Security (OAS) and Canada Pension Plan (CPP).
They own a house and a cottage that are both mortgage-free. They also have over $500,000 in savings and investments. They know that if one of them dies, the surviving spouse will be financially comfortable. The couple has two grown children to whom they would like to leave all their assets when they die. The couple informs Herbert, their insurance agent, that they want to make sure when they die that their children have the funds needed to pay the taxes on the assets that they will bequeath them.
Which life insurance policy would be most suited to meet the couple's needs?
- A. A permanent joint first-to-die policy on Aari and Jonila.
- B. A permanent joint last-to-die policy on Aari and Jonila.
- C. A term joint first-to-die policy on Aari and Jonila.
- D. A term joint last-to-die policy on Aari and Jonila.
Answer: B
Explanation:
AJoint Last-to-Die policyis designed to pay out upon the death of the second insured, which is beneficial for covering estate taxes. This structure aligns with Aari and Jonila's goal to provide funds for their children to pay taxes on inherited assets. Permanent coverage ensures the policy remains in force until both spouses have passed away, which supports long-term estate planning needs. First-to-die policies would pay out upon the death of the first insured, which would not align with their objective to have the policy available for estate settlement at the second death.Therefore,Option Ais most suitable.

Kaamil meets with Omar, his insurance agent, to purchase a whole life insurance policy. Kaamil wants to name his wife Ofra as the irrevocable beneficiary of the policy. Before proceeding, which of the following considerations should Omar CORRECTLY ask his client to reflect on?
- A. Ofra will be able to make a cash withdrawal without Kaamil's consent.
- B. Ofra will be able to withdraw funds from Kaamil's cash surrender value.
- C. Kaamil can surrender the policy without obtaining Ofra's consent.
- D. Kaamil will need to obtain Ofra's consent if he would like to revoke her as a beneficiary.
Answer: D
Explanation:
When an irrevocable beneficiary is designated, the policyholder must obtain the beneficiary's consent for any changes that affect the beneficiary's rights, such as revoking their status or making policy alterations. By naming Ofra as an irrevocable beneficiary, Kaamil would be restricted from unilaterally changing this designation or withdrawing policy funds without her agreement. This requirement protects the irrevocable beneficiary's interests, ensuring they retain certain rights in the policy.
