mortgage. Financial institutions routinely offer it, but you have the <strong>right to refuse<\/strong> and choose <a href=\"https:\/\/www.assur360.ca\/en\/quick-quote-life-insurance\/\">personal life insurance<\/a> instead. The AMF regularly reminds us of this right.  <\/div>\n  <\/details>\n  <details style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:8px;padding:0;margin-bottom:12px;overflow:hidden;\">\n    <summary style=\"padding:18px 20px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;color:#0d1f2d;list-style:none;background:#f8fafc;\">Can I replace my bank's insurance after I sign?<\/summary>\n    <div style=\"padding:16px 20px;color:#334155;line-height:1.7;border-top:1px solid #e2e8f0;\">Yes, at all times. Once your personal policy is issued and in force, you send a simple form to your bank to <strong>cancel the group coverage<\/strong>. No fees, no penalties. The personal insurer will then be your only coverage.   <\/div>\n  <\/details>\n  <details style=\"border:1px solid #e2e8f0;border-radius:8px;padding:0;margin-bottom:12px;overflow:hidden;\">\n    <summary style=\"padding:18px 20px;cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;color:#0d1f2d;list-style:none;background:#f8fafc;\">Why is decreasing capital a disadvantage?<\/summary>\n    <div style=\"padding:16px 20px;color:#334155;line-height:1.7;border-top:1px solid #e2e8f0;\">You pay <strong>the same monthly premium<\/strong> for 25 years, but the coverage paid when you die <strong>decreases each month<\/strong> with the balance of the mortgage.
