RESP Insurance refers to insurance coverage designed to protect contributions made to a Registered Education Savings Plan (RESP) in Canada. An RESP is a tax-deferred savings account that helps parents or guardians save for a child’s post-secondary education. RESP insurance ensures that, in the event of the policyholder’s death or disability, the contributions to the RESP will continue, helping secure the child’s education funding.
The key benefit of RESP insurance is peace of mind, ensuring that even if unforeseen circumstances prevent the policyholder from making future contributions, the child’s education fund remains protected and fully funded.
