you do just before you pass on however estate planning is for all ages simply doing the right things today to allow you to enjoy your wealth and effectively transfer your estate estate planning can be broken into three critical areas of concern orga nization control and taxes within each area there are actions to be taken to allow you to enjoy your wealth and effectively transfer your estate below i have focused upon some of the key steps within each area of con cern organization anyone who has had the unenviable task of being executor for an estate knows all too well that one of the biggest problems that can arise is that of disorganization as an investment advisor i often handle estates where the deceased had share certificates that have gone missing or tax and investment records that are nowhere to be found 1 the first and most important step is consolidating your current invest ments under one roof by that i mean finding an investment advisor you are comfortable with who can offer you a wide variety of solid investments while holding all or most of your investments in one place by consolidat ing your holdings you eliminate the myriad of statements and tax forms and take better control of your investments 2 involve you family in your financial planning by communicating your investment goals and involving your family in the process you allow them to better understand the importance and benefit of each investment 3 update your will updating your will every five years or whenever major changes take place in your life will go a long way in ensuring that your wishes are carriedout upon death control illness and certainly death can greatly disrupt control over your assets through the use of joint accounts powers of attorney or testamentary trusts you can ensure that in the event of illness or death your assets fall under the control of individuals chosen by you 4 joint accounts are an excellent way to allow for the transfer of assets from one holder to another upon i death without- ihvolvingprobate or detailed documen- j tation 5 trusts can be useful in that they allow you to trans- fer ownership of an asset to an intended heir while still maintaining control over the asset a testamentary trust would then allow for the transfer of an asset upon your death trusts are quite varied and flexible and legal advice should be sought before taking action taxes with the everincreasing taxation of canadi ans it is becoming more and more important to find ways to reduce the tax burden 6 the rrsp is far and away the best taxsaving vehi cle

assets within that institution and each institution has different guidelines to determine the probate requirements these fees can often be avoided by holding assets under one roof as discussed earlier through the use of joint accounts and by nam ing beneficiaries for insurance policies and rrsps your checklist consolidate investment assets under one roof involve family members in financial planning
