Estate Preservation Plan
Many Canadians are concerned about both their financial security in retirement, and the preservation of their estate for the next generation. What is surprising, is that so few have taken the time to create an estate plan that can help organize their assets, minimize taxes and pass along their estate in the manner they intend.

Consider the following questions:

• How will you preserve your assets from taxes and unnecessary probate?
• How will you ensure the fair and timely distribution of your estate according to your wishes?
• How will you protect your family in the event of your premature death?
• How can you minimize capital gains taxes during and after your lifetime?
• How can you preserve your RRSPs or RRIFs in their entirety for your heirs?

At BMO Nesbitt Burns, we will help you to develop answers to these, and many more questions. Together, we will develop a plan to ensure that your estate is managed according to your wishes.

Part of a well-developed plan
When it comes to wealth management, it often takes a team of specialists to ensure that all of your interests are taken into consideration. At BMO Nesbitt Burns Financial Services Inc., our Estate & Insurance Advisors (in Quebec, Financial Security Advisors) are available to coordinate the development of your estate plan. Together with your Investment Advisor, and in partnership with other advisors, such as your accountant or lawyer, they will guide you through a six-step process which will:
