Critical Illness Recovery Plan

MANULIFE'S CRITICAL ILLNESS RECOVERY PLAN
Because surviving a critical illness is just the first step to recovery
Reality Check

Statistics show that Canadians are living longer. As people live longer, there is a higher potential to be affected by a serious illness or injury. Statistics also show that the Canadian health care consumer is faced with rising health care costs, increases in waiting time for treatment and limited availability of appropriate medical services.
INDIVIDUAL LIFESTYLE PROTECTION

The Critical Illness Recovery Plan is designed to cover the additional expenses you may be faced with should you suffer a severe injury, or catastrophic illness, such as cancer, heart attack or stroke. This plan is a perfect complement to any income protection coverage, which is designed to provide protection for your every day living expenses.
It provided a lump sum payment to give you the independence to make meaningful decisions about your physical and financial recovery and protect your standard of living. You may use the payment in any manner you choose, such as:

  • Out of country or non-government covered treatments
  • Specialized medical treatment, private nursing or child care
  • Alter your home or automobile to accommodate your special needs
  • Payments for your mortgage, business loans or other debts
CUSTOMER MARKETS
  • Policyholders of income protection policies, and their families
  • Those who are unable to qualify for income protection coverage, such as:
 
  • Non-working spouses
  • Individuals who are unable to qualify for income protection coverage on the basis of their income or type of employment
  • Individuals with certain non-critical illness related medical histories that prevent them from obtaining income protection coverage
  • Employees covered by group or association disability plans and their families

Disability Buy Sell
INDIVIDUAL BUSINESS PROTECTION

Buy Sell coverage is designed to provide funding for the remaining owner(s) or shareholder(s) to purchase the business interest from the disabled owner or shareholder.

CUSTOMER MARKETS
  • Partnerships and professional corporations comprised of two to five principals.
  • The types of businesses that would depend on a Buy Sell product for protection might be: accounting firms, advertising agencies, architectural firms, computer firms, medical practices and clinics, osteopathic practices, engineering firms, law practices, employment agencies, and small manufacturers to name a few.
VALUE
  • Premiums paid are tax deductible as a business expense.
  • With the Business Insurance Option, when you financially qualify, you can increase your Buy Sell protection without requiring medical evidence of insurability.
  • Provides peace of mind - the funds will be there to buy out a severely disabled co-owner's or shareholder's ownership in the business.
 
 
Business Protector - The Buy-Sell Policy
BUSINESS PROTECTOR - THE BUY-SELL POLICY (971) (06/95)

In the event of a partners or shareholders' total disability, this policy provides funds to reimburse the owner of the policy for the buy out of the disabled individual.

There are two types of buy outs that can be funded:

  

1. The corporate entity purchase:

The corporation purchases the shares of the disabled shareholder, and either cancels them or holds them as treasury stock. If held as treasury stock, the shares can be repurchased by the remaining shareholder(s) later in a separate transaction.

2. The Cross purchase:

For a Partnership - The partner(s) purchase the partnership interest of the disabled partner directly.
For a Corporation - The shareholder(s) purchase the shares of the disabled shareholder directly.
The income tax implications are:

  • The premiums paid are not tax deductible by the business.

  • The proceeds, when received, are tax free to the owner of the policy.

  • For an entity purchase (Corporation) - It is our opinion that the proceeds may not be added to the capital dividend account of a private corporation. Thus a tax-free capital dividend cannot be paid.
