IFSE Institute LLQP Exam With Confidence Using Practice Dumps

Under Quebec’s "separation as to property" regime, each spouse retains ownership of their assets unless joint ownership exists. However, the family patrimony typically mandates the division of certain assets, regardless of marital property regimes, unless waived by mutual consent. As they waived the family patrimony, they are exempt from dividing family assets. However, jointly-owned assets such as the cottage acquired together would require division. Isaac's dental practice and life insurance policy are personal assets and not subject to division as they fall outside jointly-owned property​​.

Comprehensive and Detailed in Depth Explanation with Exact Extract from Documents and Guides:

In a joint first-to-die policy, the death benefit is paid to the surviving insured (primary beneficiary)upon the first death, unless altered. TheIFSE Ethics and Professional Practice Course (Common Law)states that beneficiary designations remain valid unless changed, and divorce does not automatically revoke them in most Canadian common law jurisdictions (unlike some family law contexts). Here, Chad is the primary beneficiary, and the adult children are secondary (contingent) beneficiaries, payable only if Chad predeceased Rachel. Since Rachel died first and the designation wasn’t updated post-divorce, Chad receives the benefit. Joint payment (A) or children claiming first (B) contradicts the primary/secondary structure, and Rachel’s parents (D) have no standing. Thus, C is correct.

Comprehensive and Detailed In-Depth Explanation: Under the Civil Code of Quebec (Article 2415), a policyholder (or subscriber) is the entity that owns and pays for an insurance or annuity contract, which can be an individual or a legal person like a corporation. Xtra, as a company, can use its retained earnings (unregistered capital) to fund an annuity contract and be designated as the policyholder, making option D correct. Option A is false, as legal persons can own contracts (e.g., group insurance). Option B’s requirement of a registered plan is incorrect—annuities can be funded with non-registered funds. Option C introduces a “subrogated annuitant,” a misnomer here, as the annuitant is the person receiving payments, not a decision-maker, and no such requirement exists. The LLQP and Ethics manual confirm that corporations can be policyholders for business purposes, like key person coverage or investments.
