    U cant double tax either. If money was already earned and taxed, giving it away means it cannot be taxed again. Regardless of what any financial or tax person says. Double tax is not allowed. Same with money you put into a savings account. If earned and taxed already, it is free from any retax.

    For most people, they want to know whether a gift has tax implications. He talks a lot about marriage breakdown implications, which pales in comparison to the threat of taxation, plus interest, in my opinion. He does say a gift is not taxable but should have specified that income earned by a gift to a minor would be taxable to the donor, with interest in some cases.

      Not sure about the son-in-law but for sure you can gift money to your adult child without tax consequences. That said, people get divorced, have you considered the consequences of that? Your son in law would wind up the beneficiary of a portion of these funds if that happened. Consider placing a mortgage on the property if it’s a large amount.

      @@KayDav-q3z I’m not a divorce lawyer, but yes, I believe you are wrong. For canada at least, “Inherited funds are considered separate property as long as the funds are kept separate during the course of marriage”. So if wife keeps inherited funds in a separate account, likely no problem. If the funds are used to pay down a joint debt, however, then that is where problems can arise as the spouse would have a claim to the increased equity in the mortgage-free matrimonial home. The purpose of “gifting” funds with a mortgage attached is to ensure that the funds must be repaid if the home is sold so the equity does not pass to the “other side” but returns to the parents who could then gift it to their newly divorced child.

      the executor of an estate is responsible for relieving any debt first, before distributing assets. Failing to do so could make the executor liable for the debts. When possible, it can be appropriate to use life insurance (which is tax free to the beneficiary) to compensate for any debt obligations that must be met by assets first.

      @@peterkratoska4524 This is correct, and I will add that proceeds from a RRSP or RRIF generally do not have to pass through probate either- this assumes a proper beneficiary has been established. If the beneficiary is the deceased's estate then RSP/RIF assets WILL go through probate. Everyone should ensure their beneficiaries are up to date to avoid any un-needed probate fees.

      This is terrible advice. If you die, the account in your name (or a joint account) is immediately frozen and becomes part of the estate. Then it has to go through all the process of the inheritance, which means that money can be used to pay taxes or depts, or be disputed by other inheritors. It does the exact opposite and exposed it to the gouvernement. The best is to write a check and gift it and never look back

      In Canada family members can give each other money, regardless of the amount. I just gave my daughter $50,000 to help in the purchase of a home. But the reason i gave her the money doesn't matter. I didn't buy the home or anything like that. Simply transferred the money from my account to hers. Bank confirmed with me it was indeed my choice to transfer it and i or they weren't being "scammed", processed the transaction in less than a minute, and out the door i went. No cost, no muss, no fuss. And no lawyer or "investment consultant" taking a percentage or fee for a useless and unneeded piece of paper/contract. The CRA has no knowledge of the arrangement, and if i or anyone else told them about it they wouldn't care and wouldn't even make a note of it on any file of mine or my daughter’s. This video is intended to get people to "think" they need some sort of legal protection that is non existent, in order to make money from people for unneeded services.
