Have you named beneficiaries on your RRSPs? A very common mistake that can cost your family a lot of money is failing to name a beneficiary or improperly choosing a beneficiary on your RRSPs (Registered Retirement Savings Plans). What is a beneficiary? A beneficiary is any person or organization that receives assets from a person after that person’s death. Failing to name a beneficiary can cost your family thousands of dollars in taxes. Unfortunately, I have personally found that in many cases when people set up an RRSP account at a bank or through an employer plan (Group RRSP) companies automatically designate the Estate as the beneficiary, and this will commonly overlooked in the future. How are RRSPs taxed at death? The general rule is when a RRSP account holder dies, the entire market value of the account, on the day of the death, is taxed 100% as income for that year. For example John passed away in 2018. He year and had a RRSP with a market value of $350,000. The total taxable income for John’s estate for 2018 will be $350,000 (assuming he did not earn any other income) The tax payable in 2018 (Ontario and Federal combined) for $350,000 of income would be $149,359 Three exceptions to the rule There are three major exception in which John would be able to defer paying taxes on his RRSP balance if he named a beneficiary · A spouse · A financially dependent child under the age of 18 · A financially dependent child or grandchild with a mental or physical disability. In the example above, if John had overlooked naming his spouse as the beneficiary, his estate would owe the CRA $149,359 in income taxes and then it would have incurred additional probate and executor fees. However, because John names his spouse as the beneficiary, the spouse can roll the entire $350,000 into her RRSP without paying any tax to the CRA and avoiding probate fees. A simple mistake that is easy to overlook, could have cost John over $150,000 when probate fees are factored in. What to do if you're not sure? If you’re not sure who you named as your beneficiary, or if you named one at all, this RRSP season is the best time to review it.

Life Insurance


  • What types of Life Insurance do you offer?

    We work and offer all types of Life Insurance available in the market.


    Term, Whole Life, Universal Life & No-medical or Simplified insurance are amongst the most common types of insurance that we work with.

  • What is required to apply for life insurance?

    Life insurance requirements to apply for coverage vary from company to company.

    Depending on the company, age & amount of coverage, the application process can range from a simple application containing a medical questionnaire to full medical exams and credit checks.

  • How does life insurance work?

    Life Insurance provides a financial sefety net by providing a lump sum payment to the beneficiary of the insured person if the insured person were to die.


    This payment can be used to offset the financial loss from the insured dying.


    The major financial loss that family experience when a loved one passes away is the loss of income into the household.

  • Are certain types of deaths excluded from life insurance?

    Life Insurance covered the insured person in the event of death. Period. It does not matter what the cuase of death was.


    However, all insurance companies have a 2-year suicide exclusion from when the policy first became active or from its last reinstatement.

  • Do life insurance companies try to avoid paying claims?

    The truth is that Life Insurance is a black or white contract.


    Many people often believe (based on experience from other types of insurance) that companies will find a way to not pay".


    However, when it comes to making a Life Insurance claim, the only proof required by the insurance company is that the person did in fact die. It does not matter what they died from (except for the 2-year suicide clause).


    So, when making a claim there is only a binary outcome; the person is dead or alive. Unless they are a zombie or a vampire, it's hard to disproof that a person is not dead.
