About the Book

"Toronto-based research firm Strategic Insight projects that approximately $1 trillion in personal wealth will be transferred from one generation to the next in Canada between 2016 and 2026, with roughly 70% of that in the form of financial assets." – Advisors Edge January 30, 2018

"70 % of Wealth Transfers fail." – The Future of Estate Planning. Trusts and Estates June 2010

"65% of Canadians say it's likely they will leave an inheritance to their heirs or estate but only 46% of Canadians have a will." – Sun Life Canadian UnretirementTM Index, 2015.

Experts estimate that $1 trillion of inheritances will pass from one generation to the next within a decade in Canada. In addition, many individuals are selling their businesses, resulting in substantial gains. Accordingly, the ability to effectively manage one's wealth and prepare and implement a proper estate plan is no longer just prudent. It's crucial.

•Investment strategies to provide for growth and protection of capital,

•How to develop an effective estate transfer plan to reduce estate costs and taxes,

•Strategies to preserve wealth and safeguard an inheritance or gift for the next generation,

•How to select an executor, and what to do if you are an executor,

•The critical discussions to have with your family, and

•How to assemble a financial team.

Check out this EXCLUSIVE excerpt

“When you buy stocks,” Mark continued, “you’re not lending money to the company; you’re actually buying ownership in a company. Your investment increases when the value of the company increases; unfortunately, it also works the opposite way. If the value of the company decreases, so does your investment. Some companies also pay their investors a portion of the company profits each year in the form of dividends. Dividends are nice, but your biggest gain comes when the value of the company goes up, because that pushes up the value of your stocks.”

“I’ll say it again,” interrupted Alice. “I’m impressed, and I don’t impress easily.”

“Tell me about it,” mused David.

The rest of us laughed, but Sally had dollar signs in her eyes. “Are stocks guaranteed?”

“No way!” Mark answered.

“Well then, why would anyone buy them?”

Uncle Wayne took over. “It’s true that the stock market goes up and down, but over the long term, the trend has been up, just like the economy. I can show this to you in black and white. I took the liberty of asking Aunt Lorraine what year each of you were born so that I could chart the growth of the Toronto Stock Exchange Index in a way that isn’t skewed toward my point of view. Look at this,” he said as he pulled out a sheet of paper.

Mark (1955) TSE was 536.50

David (1968) TSE was 1062.88

Alice (1970) TSE was 947.54

Jack/Sandra (1978) TSE was 1309.99

Sally (1983) TSE was 2552.35

“The Toronto Stock Exchange at the end of 2019 was at a whopping 17,063.43, so even with all the turbulence in the time since Mark was born, the stock market has increased dramatically. Gosh, think of everything that has happened in the last sixty-three years: the Korean War, the Cuban missile crisis, Vietnam, the separatist movement in Quebec, the advent of the information society and the global economy, not to mention the oil crisis of 1973, the market crash of ‘87, the fall of Communism, the Gulf Wars, Bre-X, Nortel, the Dot Com boom bust in 2000–2001, the Great Recession in 2008–2009, 9/11 …”

“Enough with the history,” Sandra said affectionately. “Let’s get back to the economy. What I think you’re saying is that at any one point in time, there’s enough upheaval going on that you could feel skittish about risking an investment in stocks. However, the bottom line is that the market has always gone up over the long term.”
