He shared his expertise on importance of estate planning, tax and non-tax issues, consequences of failure to plan in advance and other family issues. In Canada it is estimated that approximately $ 1 trillion would be transferred between generations over the next generation. Out of 100 families;54% do not have plans in place, he said. Planning in place is must to create, preserve and review that wealth in the person’s lifetime and distribute those assets after the death as per the wishes of that individual. |

Mr. Dharma P Jain, President, ICCC in his welcome remarks said that wealth transfer strategy should be understood in letter and spirit to provide financial support to the next generation at each stage of their life. This strategy is ideal for parents who would like to start saving for their child’s future, and grandparents who would like to leave an inheritance for their children or grandchildren. Leaving money for children can be more affordable if it is planned well in advance with an expert advice. A well planned strategy can build a legacy for the people and helpful in maximizing the value of their financial resources. |
