Becoming a Parent

Becoming a parent is one of life’s happiest moments. But raising a child also brings new responsibilities and numerous concerns. Will you always be able to meet your child’s needs, see to her security and offer her the best?
The sections below offer advice to help you assess your budget and future expenses so that you can provide your child and your family with the financial resources necessary for their well-being.

• Life insurance
  Take advantage of your child’s young age and excellent health to give him protection that will follow him into adulthood, and even his entire life. Offer your child a gift by taking out whole life insurance.

• Accident insurance
  You love your baby more than anything, and you’ve prepared a snug little nursery so that your little one can begin life in comfort and safety. But have you really thought of everything? Accident insurance for newborns will help you face the unexpected and cover medical and other expenses resulting from accidental injury or death.

Writing a will is the first thing that anyone responsible for another should do. If you die without a will, your property will be distributed pursuant to provincial statutes governing family assets, marriage and supplemental pension plans (or the Civil Code of Quebec if you live in that province), regardless of your last wishes.

Drawing up your will is no problem at all compared to the time and cost involved for your family if you neglect this responsibility.
