Description:

There are many books on wealth planning, but Wealth Planning Strategies for Canadians is the first wealth planning book to cover the rules for every Canadian jurisdiction, identifying the strategies which will work best in your jurisdiction. It is the first to explore, systematically, the strategies required to cover six fundamental areas of planning:

financial planning
tax planning
disability planning
estate planning
insurance planning
and family law issues.

Updates to the 2011 Edition include:

Rules for each of the Northwest Territories, Nunavut and Yukon
More detail on a number of strategies, including establishing trusts for children, individual pension plans for business owners and reducing income in retirement in order to reduce social assistance clawbacks
Legislative changes, including the introduction of personal directives in Nova Scotia, changes to the family law legislation in Ontario and the changes to the social assistance rules for disabled persons in Manitoba and New Brunswick.

The first half of this uniquely valuable publication is organized around your client's life-event scenarios and systematically identifies the array of financial and estate-planning considerations and strategies that ought to be considered. Life scenarios explored include:

Single
Common-law couples
Marriage
Birth of a child
Divorce
Blended families
Re-marriage
Widowed
Disabled persons
Aged Parents
Seniors and Retirees
Acquisition of property
Family businesses
and much more.

The second half concisely sets out the legal/regulatory framework surrounding areas such as powers of attorney, family property, insurance, probate, trusts, etc., with jurisdictional differences succinctly summarized. It provides further detail to the life-scenario section of the book.

Wealth Planning Strategies for Canadians will be helpful not only to financial planners and to those who have large financial portfolios, but for anyone concerned about their future and their family's future.
