Presentation: Understanding where Life Insurance fits in Corporate Planning

Life Insurance is an extremely valuable asset of the corporation when applied correctly. You will have a better understanding of some of the ways clients are effectively using life insurance to minimize passive investment taxes as well as strategies to eliminate personal capital gains on shares owned in their private corporations. We will explore a few technical aspects of life insurance and then dive into some case studies to illustrate how it all ties together.

    Presentation Description:

    As legal and financial professionals, we are entrusted with documenting and safeguarding our clients’ intentions. Since much of the case law centers on interpreting and upholding those intentions, this presentation will highlight common issues that arise from faulty planning and the lessons we can learn from them. Drawing on both estate planning and litigation perspectives, we will explore practical strategies to ensure our clients’ wishes are protected and preserved.
