Life insurance can provide financial stability for the people you care about when they can no longer rely on your income, work or support.
Matthew Lawrence, QAFP®, Financial Advisor, helps you determine what needs protecting, how much coverage may be appropriate and how long that protection should remain in place.
A mortgage balance is only one part of the picture. Your family may also depend on your income, childcare, household responsibilities and contributions toward future goals.
Existing policies may no longer reflect your circumstances and coverage selected without a clear purpose can leave important needs unprotected or create unnecessary costs.
Life insurance planning begins by considering what would change financially if you were no longer there.
Matthew reviews your existing resources and coverage, identifies the needs that would remain and helps you consider the amount, duration and type of insurance that may fit.
The goal is appropriate protection for clear reasons - not insurance for its own sake.
You work directly with Matthew, with the purpose, cost and trade-offs of each option explained in plain language.
His QAFP® background brings a broader perspective to how life insurance connects with your income, debts, investments, business interests and estate intentions.

Term Life Insurance: Coverage for a defined period, often suited to temporary needs such as a mortgage or income replacement during your working years.
Permanent Life Insurance: Coverage designed to remain in place for life, subject to the policy terms. It may be considered for estate, legacy or other long-term needs.
Some situations may call for a combination of the two. The appropriate structure depends on what the coverage needs to accomplish.
There is no universal number. Your income, debts, dependants, existing assets, current coverage and future goals should all be considered.
Yes. Existing personal, workplace and creditor insurance can be considered together before deciding whether any change is appropriate.
That depends on the insurer, coverage amount and type of policy. Some applications require medical evidence, while others may offer simplified underwriting. The available options and their trade-offs can be discussed before you apply.
You do not need to know the right policy or calculate the coverage yourself.
