According to the latest census data, the number of common-law unions is increasing, accounting for one-fifth of couples in the country.1 Even though many people are happy to live together without making it official, it’s still important for unmarried couples to have proper insurance coverage.

Why unmarried couples need insurance if they rent
Many couples rely on both incomes to cover expenses such as rent, car payments and other household costs. If one person is unable to financially contribute because of a disability, accident or involuntary job loss, it can cause serious financial strain.

Why unmarried couples need insurance if they own a home
Many couples choose to buy a home together, even if they’re not married. In the event of death, it can be difficult for the surviving partner to cover a mortgage payment on only one income.

Proper insurance coverage is important for all couples — married and unmarried. Take the time to assess your specific needs and ensure that you’re prepared for the unexpected.
