In 2008, I bought an insurance policy for death benefits. In 2018, I found that I had paid approximately $8500 in premiums. Then found out that if I should die, my estate would receive approximately $1500 but this figure would increase to 4500 if I should reach 100 years of age. So in 2018, I converted this into a paid up policy worth $1435. So in effect I lost over $7000 to date. Is there any way to claim a loss like this on Revenue Canada taxes? How do I recoup any portion of the $8500 - 1500?
