Understanding Life Insurance Replacements at Equitable
All provinces require completion of a life insurance replacement declaration (LIRD) or equivalent form if intending to replace an existing insurance contract with a new one. The LIRD helps clients think carefully before terminating their existing policy. It contains important questions for them to consider.
When do you need to send a LIRD to Equitable®?
Refer to our: LIRD requirements by province
Equitable needs to receive the LIRD only in provinces where it is mandated. Please check the province-specific requirements (linked above).
If a client is replacing a life insurance contract with a new one with us, and the owner lives in one of the specified provinces, the LIRD must be sent to Equitable with the application. It should include a written explanation of the questions reviewed with the client and must be signed and dated.
Important reminder: While you will always complete a LIRD, do not submit the LIRD unless we require it. Doing so may delay the new business process.
Note: The LIRD does not terminate the original policy; it indicates intent to do so.
Questions? Please contact your local Equitable wholesaler if you need additional information.
