Reminder: Beneficiary designations for children’s CI policies
When a critical illness (CI) insurance policy or rider is issued for a minor, it’s important to ensure beneficiary designations accurately reflect clients’ intentions. Without a beneficiary on file, or with a minor designated without a trustee, an approved claim may need to be paid to the court or the Public Trustee. This can cause delays at a time when families may urgently need access to support.
Help clients name a beneficiary on their juvenile critical illness policy today. This isn’t just a safeguard to avoid court or Public Trustee delays at claim time. It’s a reflection of your expertise and care.

Term vs permanent life insurance: helping clients choose the best solution for them
Most people understand why life insurance matters. What they’re often unsure about is which type of coverage is right for them. As an advisor, you’re in a unique position to do more than present options, you can help clients feel confident they’re making an informed choice.
Start with the client, not the product
Before discussing insurance solutions, you can start by asking three important questions:
1. What do you need to protect today?
2. What are you trying to achieve for the future?
3. What is your budget?
By asking these questions you will get a better understanding of which solution fits the client’s needs.
Matching the solution to the client
Term life insurance may be ideal for clients who have budget considerations and need coverage for:
• Helping to replace income
• Helping cover a mortgage or other debts
• Business protection
• A specific period of time (10 – 30 years)
If a client wants lifetime coverage but can’t afford it right now, term insurance is a good option. It gives them affordable coverage today that they can later choose to convert to permanent insurance when their income increases.1
Permanent life insurance (whole life and universal life) is an option for clients looking for lifelong coverage and added long-term value. It’s a good option for clients who want to:
• Build an inheritance
• Preserve their estate
• Build tax advantaged cash value growth
Permanent life insurance is also an excellent way for parents or grandparents to help give children or grandchildren some lasting financial security. It secures lifetime protection at a lower cost when the child is young and healthy. It also offers the potential for cash value growth that they can access if needed.
Helping clients make confident choices
By focusing on what the client needs now—and what they might need later—you can help them pick life insurance that fits their changing life and financial goals. Share this client‑friendly piece that outlines some of the things that clients should consider to make an informed decision:
Which life insurance solution is right for you?
Reminder: Clients’ needs can change; it’s a good idea to review their coverage regularly.
For any questions, contact your Equitable wholesaler.
