December 1, 2020Blog, Estate PlanningMaclean Rowe

It is important to have a valid Will to avoid the challenges of intestacy – dying without a Will. Indeed, eventually, everyone ends up with a Will of one sort or other, either the deceased gets to decide how assets are distributed by writing one before death or the provincial authorities get to decide based on intestacy rules. So, it’s always best to get a Will written in advance.

The question is, do you need more than one? Getting one Will is trouble enough, so why would anyone want to have two?

The Estate Bond

May 1, 2020Blog, Estate Planning, Investment, Life InsuranceMaclean Rowe

Growing your estate without undue market risk and taxes

Often we see older investors shift gears near retirement and beyond. Many become risk-averse and move their assets into fixed income type investments. Unfortunately, this often results in the assets being exposed to higher rates of income tax and lower rates of return – never a good combination.

Or maybe the older investor cannot fully enjoy their retirement years for fear of spending their children’s inheritance.

The Estate Bond financial planning strategy presents a solution to both of these problems.

Protecting Investments for Your Heirs

April 2, 20202020 Only, Blog, Estate Planning, Investment, RetirementMaclean Rowe

Many investors over the age of 60 find themselves in a quandary regarding investments that they intend to leave to their heirs. The primary concern involves the desire to conserve the investments they are bequeathing while at the same time earning a reasonable rate of return. As we all know, the volatility of the equity markets can be cruel and this can be most detrimental when investments do not have time to recover after a downturn. As a result, many mature investors choose to accept low rates of return in order to avoid loss in the funds they wish to leave to family members.
