What should clients do about looming Capital Gains Taxes on the Family Cottage?
The Keep the Cottage in the Family strategy provides you the opportunity to redistribute some of your taxable investments, particularly your bond or GIC portfolios, into a participating whole life insurance policy to enjoy tax-deferred savings and a tax-free death benefit that can be used to preserve and enhance your estate by covering the capital gains taxes owing on the family cottage when you pass away.
Estate Planning: You Have a Will, But Do You Have a Way?
You may think of life insurance as straightforward coverage – something to help cover final expenses at death. While that's true, there may be more costs to consider than just final expenses. If you want to pass assets on to heirs or charities at death, there may be taxes owing. This may be a tax bill your heirs or charities weren't expecting.
"You Have a Will, But Do You Have a Way?" helps make you aware of potential taxes that may have to be paid, impacting the legacy you plan to leave to heirs or charities. It shows how the proceeds of a participating life insurance policy could be used to cover possible taxes owing upon death. To watch the video click here.
