Authentic IFSE Institute Certification Exam LLQP Questions Answers

In Quebec, when a minor is named as a beneficiary on a life insurance policy, and the policyholder dies without a will, the death benefit is not directly accessible to the minor. Instead, the benefit is placed under the management of a legal guardian or the Director of Youth Protection, depending on the circumstances. Since Mercedes has full custody and there is no designated legal guardian in place, the Director of Youth Protection would typically assume responsibility for managing the funds on behalf of Arthur until he reaches the age of majority.

If Richard has no custodial rights and is deemed unfit, as his history suggests, he would not be eligible to receive or manage the funds. Additionally, since Mercedes passed away without a will, her estate would not directly receive the benefit, as the policy directly names Arthur as the beneficiary. The Director of Youth Protection will oversee the funds to ensure they are used in Arthur's best interests​​.

As Paulette is injured during work and is covered by her employer’s group disability plan, her disability benefits would be paid out under this group insurance policy. Group disability insurance provides both short- and long-term coverage, as outlined in her employer’s benefits plan. This plan typically covers income replacement for non-workplace injuries or illnesses. However, since this was an on-the-job accident, it may be covered by the CNESST, but group insurance often still serves as the primary provider in situations where a workplace injury results in short-term disability exceeding standard workplace injury benefits. The SAAQ would only cover injuries directly related to road accidents within its jurisdiction. Employment insurance (EI) provides general income replacement but is secondary to employer-provided group disability benefits​​.

In Quebec, an irrevocable beneficiary designation remains in effect even after a divorce, unless the policyholder takes steps to change it. Because Rajbir is designated as the irrevocable beneficiary, Surjit would require Rajbir’s consent to alter the beneficiary designation. Since Surjit intends to keep Rajbir as the beneficiary, he does not need to take any additional action, as the irrevocable beneficiary status remains in force. Surjit cannot change or remove Rajbir as the beneficiary without her consent, so his current designation remains unaffected by the divorce under LLQP guidelines and Quebec civil code rules on irrevocable beneficiaries​​.
