We are pleased to have a guest speaker at the event Treena Nault of the Nault Group
Topic: Vacation Property Succession Planning Seminar Preview

For many families, it is much more important to preserve the family cottage than any other asset.  Those who want to leave the cottage to their children must plan for the tax consequences and disputes that may arise upon their death.  There are myths and misconceptions that if assumed may result in bigger tax and family issues.

In this shortened preview, Treena will touch on:

  • Tax liability at time of death
  • Principal residence exemption
  • Preserving the ACB of the property
  • Gifting during your lifetime
  • Succession Issues
  • Planning for multiple owners
  • Planning with insurance
