How was our April 16th Event – Wealth Management: Part I? Incredible!
What we Learned:
- 50% of adult Canadians still do not have a Will and 75% of those over age 65 have an outdated Will
- The importance of having an updated will and Power of Attorney to help and protect your loved ones
- Why sharing your wishes for a Catholic Funeral needs to be discussed with your family now and NOT assumed that it will “just happen”; have the important discussion AND put it in writing with your documents
- How Spousal Trusts and Henson Trusts can be used to protect and maximize the value of your estate for your loved ones
- Why the choice of Executor is one of the most important decisions you will make
- How donating securities/Bonds and other assets can reduce your estate taxes and leave more for your family and beneficiaries
- How the effective use of Bequests, Charitable Life insurance and Charitable annuities can be a very effective strategy to benefit both your family & to create a legacy of giving for your favorite charities & St. Agnes Parish Click here to read more Highlights of Wealth Management Seminar
