ESTATE PLANNING
Our estate planning team possesses a wide range of experience in all aspects of cross border planning for wills, trusts and estates. Our estate planning team, licensed in both Canada and the U.S., provide individuals, families and business clients with comprehensive advice customized to their specific needs to ensure the smooth transfer of assets to the next generation including reducing or eliminating U.S. probate fees and minimizing or deferring tax on capital gains, income splitting through the use of spousal and testamentary trusts as well as optimizing wills to enable charitable giving.
THE RISKS
Without proper planning, a Canadian taxpayer’s estate may encounter a host of legal issues if he or she has the wrong structure, such as an LLC or Land Trust. These include the application of probate, expense and delay in selling a U.S. property estate, triggering capital gains tax which may have been deferred and/or guardianship issues for minor children. Our team will not only develop the best cross border estate plan but will also draft all documents and register deeds transferring U.S. properties into cross border trusts, limited partnerships or corporations, therefore avoiding the dreaded double taxation.
