May 19, 2008

Many listeners are joining us today from their cottages…on Saturday, I discussed the implications of the family cottage on your estate plan…I shared a number of ideas to mitigate the impact of capital gains taxes on your estate. Three key ideas came from the show…using life insurance, gifting the cottage outright, and using a family trust…each of these ideas has its plusses and minuses…and they require the guiding hand of an advisor.

This weekend, enjoy your cottage, but realize that, at some point, you will either need to deal with the issue of taxation on your beloved getaway, or your executor will have to deal with it on your behalf.
