His employer also provides benefits of extended health and dental coverage for whole family and disability insurance for him. Patricia earns $52,000 annually as an administrative assistant with the local school district.

The final death expenses in Canada are about $27,000 for a deceased adult. John and Patricia purchased their home ten years ago. It is currently valued at $750,000, with an outstanding mortgage of $340,500 and is without any credit insurance.

plan with the school district that pays a specified benefit. Based on a retirement age of sixty-five, she would receive $410 monthly.
