Canada’s financial landscape is evolving, and so are Canadians’ priorities when it comes to their legacy. IG Wealth Management’s latest estate planning study reveals a clear gap between intention and action: 84% of Canadians say having an estate plan is important, yet fewer than half have one in place.

Even among those who do, important conversations are being missed. While 68% believe charitable giving should be included in an estate plan, only 40% have discussed how to incorporate it.

At IG, we’re focused on helping close these gaps by giving Canadians the guidance and strategies they need to protect their legacy, support the causes they care about and make their wishes clear.

Quick story!
Two Families. Same Mortgage. Different Outcomes.

Two young couples bought their first home with a $500,000 mortgage.
Both families were responsible. Both wanted protection.

⸻
The Smith Family:
They opted for mortgage insurance through their bank. It felt easy — just a checkbox during the approval process.
⸻
The Jones Family:
They worked with an advisor and set up a $500,000 life insurance policy. They named each other as beneficiaries.
⸻

Fast forward 15 years.
Life happened. Kids. Careers. Expenses. Memories.
Then, unexpectedly, both families faced the same tragedy — one spouse passed away.

⸻

The Smith Family (Bank Insurance)
Their remaining mortgage balance was now around $300,000.
The insurance paid out… $300,000 directly to the bank.
The mortgage was gone — but so was the payout.
No additional funds.
No flexibility.
No support beyond the house being paid off.

⸻

The Jones Family (Advisor Insurance)
Their policy paid out the full $500,000 directly to the surviving spouse.
They chose what to do:

* Pay off the mortgage ✔️
* Replace lost income ✔️
* Fund their kids’ future ✔️

They weren’t just protected — they had options.
Same mortgage. Same timeline.
Very different outcomes.

The real question isn’t just “Is your mortgage covered?”
It’s “Who is the coverage really for?”
