Every single client in your wheelhouse has at least one asset. Some will have many. Some are lucky enough to have assets with enough value that both probate and income tax must be considered in the future when those assets are distributed. No one wants to see their hard-earned savings going to tax unnecessarily. The information in this course will help to ensure that those savings are retained and passed along. It is key to planning an estate. You’ll learn-

  • How probate and income tax must be considered when assets are distributed;
  • How to limit the impact of taxation to allow clients to optimize their hard-earned savings;
  • How to help to ensure client savings are retained and passed along according to plan.
Plan for Probate
Provincial Life Credits: 3 credits (BC, AB, SK, MB, ON)
FP Canada Credits: 3 credits (Financial Planning)
Let’s call probate (or estate administration tax) what it really is: an after-death tax on the value of the assets of the deceased. It must be paid. It is separate and additional to income tax. However, probate can be estimated based on client assets and where the client resides. That estimate can spur the individual to take measures to reduce the amount of probate that will be owed. You can lead the way by working with the client to develop ways and means to reduce probate. You can help your clients save potentially significant costs with the ideas for planning in this course. Do not miss this opportunity.
  • Use this information as a step to resolve the lack of understanding clients have about probate;
  • Help clients save potentially significant probate fees by planning ahead;
  • Find the appropriate strategies in this course to improve outcomes for seniors.
