    Got Any Questions?

    Estate planning organizes your assets and documents to ensure smooth transfer to beneficiaries after your passing. Proper planning minimizes taxes, avoids probate delays, and ensures your wishes are carried out. Our estate planning in Toronto protects your wealth and provides peace of mind for your family.

    CRA treats most assets as sold at fair market value on the date of death, triggering capital gains tax on appreciated investments, real estate, and business holdings. RRSPs and RRIFs are fully taxable unless transferred to a qualifying beneficiary.

    Probate is the court process that validates your will and authorizes asset distribution. Ontario charges probate fees of 1.5% on estate assets exceeding $50,000. We use strategies including joint ownership, beneficiary designations, trusts, and gifting to reduce assets subject to probate fees.

    Executors must locate assets, pay debts and taxes, file final tax returns, obtain probate if required, and distribute assets to beneficiaries. Our executor advisory services guide you through each step, prepare required filings, and ensure you fulfill your legal obligations correctly.

    Review your estate plan after major life events including marriage, divorce, birth of children, death of beneficiaries, significant asset purchases, or relocation to another province. Tax law changes may also require updates. We provide ongoing reviews to keep your estate plan current and effective.

    Ontario charges 1.5% probate fees on estate assets exceeding $50,000. Joint ownership, beneficiary designations on registered accounts, and inter vivos trusts remove assets from probate.
