WINNIPEG, MB , June 25, 2025 /CNW/ - Today, Canada Life and ClearEstate, a trusted provider of modern estate planning and settlement solutions, are announcing a strategic agreement that will help make these ClearEstate services more accessible to millions of Canadians. Canada Life has also made an equity investment in ClearEstate, reinforcing its commitment to supporting innovative solutions that simplify estate planning for Canadians.
Through this strategic agreement, Canada Life and certain of its subsidiaries will be able to refer certain of their clients, plan members, and employees to ClearEstate for their services.
"For generations, Canada Life has worked with financial advisors in Canada to provide industry-leading wealth and financial services to Canadians," said Blaine Shewchuk, EVP Individual Wealth, Canada Life. "By working with ClearEstate—an innovator in delivering scalable, user-friendly digital estate planning and settlement services, we're helping to make it easier for Canadians to access ClearEstate's important services through their financial advisors and workplace benefits."
"Canada Life is one of the most trusted names in the financial services industry.

"It represents a unified commitment to help reshape the way Canadians approach estate planning—making it simple, transparent, and an integral part of their overall financial well-being."
As the number of older Canadians continues to rise, ClearEstate and Canada Life are joining forces on a shared vision to help ensure more families have access to the tools and support they need to protect their legacies and reduce the burden on loved ones.
ClearEstate is dedicated to solving a long-standing problem: too many Canadians lack proper estate planning services.
