Whether you want to pay less tax, plan the transfer of your wealth or protect your child’s assets or interests, creating a family trust is worth considering. CCPAA-ON is hosting a CPD accredited webinar to introduce to you the concept of family trust and how it may play a role in your wealth planning. This webinar provides 1.5 CPD hours.

Trusts are relationships between the trustees and the trust’s beneficiaries set out in a trust agreement or deed. These relationships are designed to hold and protect assets, held legally by the trustee for the benefit of the beneficiaries. (www.bccpa.ca)

  • Reduce the tax payable on death
  • Plan the transfer of wealth
  • Protect assets
  • Multiply deductions for capital gains
  • Protect a child

This seminar will be facilitated by two industry professionals from Cidel Asset Management and Grant Thornton to provide an overview of the mechanism of family trust:

  • The basic concept of trust
  • Role of a family trust in wealth planning, particularly around the topics of tax optimization, asset protection, and estate planning
