CANADIAN NATIONAL BESTSELLER

“It’s financial negligence to overlook estate planning matters like wills and powers of attorney. This book will get you organized.”
—Rob Carrick, personal finance columnist, The Globe and Mail

“…astonishingly good. It’s a fine reference book and an essential guide to those who have or will have wills to sign, estates to administer, or assets to pass on to future generations.”
—Andrew Allentuck, columnist, The Financial Post

You Can’t Take It With You: Common-Sense Estate Planning For Canadians continues to be the trusted source on the personal, financial, and legal issues involved in estate planning. The modern estate plan is so much more than just a will. Once you designate a beneficiary on an insurance policy, TFSA, or RRSP, you have already started a plan.

  • Prepares you for reviewing your will and appointing a representative to manage your finances in case you are ever unable to make your own decisions
  • Covers wills, powers of attorney for finances, personal care, advance care directives, probate, living trusts and alter ego trusts, minimizing income tax on death, life insurance, business succession planning, farms, organ and tissue donations, mental incapacity, funerals and more
  • Focuses on your goals and privacy, as well as ways to minimize your income tax
  • Contains strategies to maximize the value of your charitable donations
  • Deals with your digital assets, digital will, and helps you get organized
