Understanding how your Will, Real Estate law and your Taxes play out on death

Do you know how and when your assets, such as your home or other properties transfer after death? In this seminar, Estate and Real Estate Lawyer Andrea Parliament will outline four methods of transferring assets on death and explain the tax implications of each.

You’ll learn about:

• What happens during probate, whether it's always required and the tax implications
• Choosing an executor

The Silent Worry and Being Prepared Financially for Aging

In Canada, more than 600 people a day turn 65, and almost half of these people will require long-term care. Most of us have nothing saved for that care or even a health crisis and this is the big silent worry. Your plan for affording care shouldn’t be “I hope I just die in my sleep.”   

Join us as we welcome aging expert Neela White, who will guide us through what we should know surrounding the challenges of aging. Neela will demystify some common assumptions, the largest being that the government will take care of us.

During this seminar we’ll learn:

• What options are available 
• How to start this difficult conversation with our families
• How to maintain control of the decisions
• What longevity planning is and what components should be included
• What matters in planning financially for aging
• Why you need to be prepared
• The benefits of having and sharing your plan

What is an Advanced Care Plan and Why Does Everyone Need One?

Nobody wants to spend a minute of their time thinking about an illness or emergency that may never happen. But during a decade as an ICU Registered Nurse, Carly Hickey saw first-hand how unprepared most people were for a debilitating illness, a sudden emergency, or death. She realized most Canadian families are caught off guard by medical emergencies and (un)expected death. Advance care planning is a process to help begin preparations and conversations while we are healthy so we don’t have to deal with these difficult transitions during a medical crisis. It’s better to be prepared than to make decisions under stress.

During this seminar, you’ll learn: 

• What is an advance care plan?
• Who needs one?
• How to build a plan that works for you and your family
• What is the sandwich generation and their role in an advance care plan
• Why advance care planning is important
• The policies affecting advance care planning in Ontario
• How the Advance Care & Emergency Planning Company will focus on your and your wishes
• Who can and should attend an advance care planning meeting
• Where can you continue learning about advance care planning
