Joseph’s diamond necklace collection is classified as aninvestment assetdue to its value and potential for appreciation over time. Investment assets are non-liquid assets that hold value, often with the potential to increase, and are usually part of an estate for wealth preservation or transfer. Liquid assets are easily convertible to cash, which does not apply here. Fixed assets typically refer to property or equipment used for business purposes.

Upon an employee’s death, group benefits such as health, dental, and disability coverage terminate. However, the life insurance portion pays out to the designated beneficiary (in this case, Madge). These provisions are well-documented in the LLQP under group insurance policies, where only death benefits are transferable—not extended coverage.

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​.

This is a multi-need situation. The LLQP recommends layering coverage:

A 25-year term policy for mortgage protection.

A term-to-65 policy for income replacement.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

Using the income replacement method:

Annual income = $6,000 × 12 = $72,000

Capitalized value at 4% = $72,000 ÷ 0.04 = $1,800,000

The LLQP guide confirms this formula for calculating the present value of future income needed for full replacement.

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.

For young children, a trustee must be named to manage proceeds. For tax obligations, naming the estate simplifies settling liabilities such as RRSP taxes. LLQP outlines this structure as appropriate in combined term-permanent planning for dependents and estate tax planning.

Comprehensive and Detailed Explanation From Exact Extract:

Even when a beneficiary is irrevocable, the policyholder is allowed to access Living Benefits (e.g., terminal illness benefits) without the irrevocable beneficiary’s consent. These are considered advances on the death benefit. After the policyholder's death, the remainder of the death benefit goes to the beneficiary tax-free.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation: An insurance contract under Quebec’s Civil Code (Articles 2389–2414) has distinct characteristics. It is a “contract of the utmost good faith”(uberrimae fidei), requiring full disclosure from both parties, especially the insured, about material facts (Article 2408). It is typically a “contract of adhesion,” as insurers offer standard terms with little negotiation (Article 1379), unlike mutual agreement contracts. It is “synallagmatic,” imposing reciprocal obligations—premium payment by the policyholder and coverage by the insurer (Article 1381). It is also “aleatory,” as the outcome depends on an uncertain event, like death or loss (Article 2390). Option C accurately reflects these traits. Option A’s “mutual agreement” suggests negotiation, which is rare in insurance. Option B and D incorrectly state that inaccurate statements are inconsequential—misrepresentations can void a policy (Article 2410)—and B’s “consensual” and D’s “gratuitous” misalign with insurance’s onerous nature (payment for coverage). The Ethics and Professional Practice manual emphasizes advisors’ duty to explain these legal characteristics clearly.
