Premiums, Payments and Refunds
About premiums
The amount owed on the invoice I received is different than the amount shown on my Declarations page. Which amount is the correct one?
Is there an early payment discount?
*if you are PST exempt, the amount to be deducted should be $50, as no PST was calculated on your premium. If you are a member of a designated agency, the early payment discount does not apply.
How much HST is payable on my annual LAWPRO insurance premiums?
About payments
Where can I get a copy of my Declarations page?
Due to a bank error, my premium payment for last month was not processed. How can I rectify this?
How do I change my payment instalment option from lump sum to monthly payments?
1. File a Premium Payment Authorization for a new credit card or chequing account.
2. Change your payment information or instalment payment by emailing [email protected] at least ten days prior to any payment date.
How do I change payment information?
A third party is paying my premiums using a credit card. Do they need to fill out a special form?
If the credit card is owned by a third party, other than another lawyer or paralegal partner or shareholder in the law firm, the law firm itself, or a management or other company of the law firm, you must obtain the consent of the third party authorizing the transaction and have them complete this form.
A third party includes the spouse of the applicant lawyer or the spouse of another lawyer in the firm; a non-lawyer employee of the law firm; or any other third party. This third party authorization will apply to future policy years, unless LAWPRO is advised in writing otherwise.
If you are a lawyer and would like to submit a payment authorization for your premium or the premium of another lawyer who is a member of your law firm, please do not use this form, but sign-in to My LAWPRO to make a payment.
Is there a fee for declined cheque or EFT payments?
About refunds
If I file an Application for Exemption today, how far back can I get a prorated refund?
Appreciating that it may take some time for you to complete and file your Application for Exemption form, a prorated refund can be issued for up to the 30-day period immediately before LAWPRO’s receipt of your Exemption form.
Any return of premiums is made payable to the original payor, unless otherwise requested by you and the original payor in writing. For those carrying the Real Estate Practice Coverage Option, we are not able to backdate for this 30-day period.
