Specifically, corporate-owned life insurance will let the business choose the beneficiary, provide multiple payout options to beneficiaries, guarantee some protection from creditors, offer help settling the estate, pay out even in the case of suicide after two years, waive premiums if the insured becomes disabled, allow changing to permanent coverage, and continue coverage after debts are paid off.

Overview Of Housing/Credit Crisis And Why There Is More Pain To ComeAndrew Coleman
This document provides an overview of the housing/credit crisis and why more pain is to come. It discusses several key causes of the crisis, including a decline in lending standards that allowed many unqualified borrowers to obtain loans. This was driven by the assumption of perpetually rising home prices and the demand from Wall Street for loan products to securitize. The consequences section outlines the surge in delinquencies, falling home sales, rising foreclosures and inventories, and the number of homeowners who owe more than their homes are worth.

Chris is 68 and Beth is 59. Chris has recently just retired from an executive position in a public company. They have always led a relatively simple and conservative lifestyle and as a result have built up a very significant, and liquid, net worth.
As part of Chris’ retirement package, he has an annual pension payment of approximately $360,000 (inflating). The pension alone is enough to cover their annual living expenses of $230,000.
As a result, they have a large annual cash flow surplus created by the $400k in annual dividends from their equity portfolios and their tax-exempt income from municipal bond portfolios totaling $1.1M.
The primary planning goals were to:
Make sure that they have sufficient funds to live on for the rest of their lives (approximately $230,000 after taxes and gifts).
Provide for the financial security of the surviving spouse.
Create an inheritance for their children which protects them from any potential future creditors and/or predators.
Provide a charitable gift at death as long as it doesn’t greatly diminish the amount they pass to their heirs.
Eliminate or reduce estate taxes.

The main planning objective is to take advantage of the lifetime gifting exemption ($5M each) while it is still available. This is due in part to the large concentration of conservatively invested assets that are growing inside Chris and Beth’s estate. In addition, they are looking to preserve enough assets in order to provide sufficient cash flow that will ensure a comfortable lifestyle with flexibility during retirement.

- The transaction has a limited dilutive effect for common shareholders as the increased number of common shares is partly offset by no longer paying preferred dividends.
There has been a lot of discussion in the media and in the
financial sector, about the state of struggling European
markets, and particularly about the Greek economy. More
broadly, people are concerned about what overall impact
the distressed Euro Zone could have on financial institutions
here in the United States if confidence in the Euro’s stability
continues to deteriorate.
As always, when talking about the future of the international
market, and more particularly about banks and Credit Unions
here in the United States, it’s difficult to say anything with
certainty. In this case, that difficulty is only increased by the
likelihood that banks and Credit Unions would be affected
differently. For more info: www.nafcu.org/bfb

James is 64, and a few years ago started up a Consulting Company (Consulting Corp) with his business partner Dave. They have acquired some lucrative contracts over the last couple of years, and after spending frugally his entire life, James is starting to enjoy his newly created wealth. James is divorced and makes alimony payments in the amount of $100,000/yr. on top of his $500,000/yr. in living expenses. Because the wealth and income generated by the company is recent, James has not accumulated much in the way of liquid assets yet, but the company value is significant and future profits look very promising.
The primary planning goals are to:
Make sure that he has sufficient funds to live on for the rest of his life (approx. $600,000/yr., including alimony, after taxes and gifts).
Reduce income taxes.
Maximize the inheritance that he leaves to his children and grandchildren. Consider passing his business interests to his children involved in the industry while providing an equal inheritance of non-business interests to those that are uninterested.
Assure that he has sufficient liquid assets available at his death to eliminate the forced liquidation of his business assets.
Eliminate or reduce estate taxes.

1) Low interest rates have made traditionally safe investments like government bonds much less attractive as they now provide little income without risking capital. 2) With people living longer, pensions are under pressure to remain fully funded with lower expected returns. 3) Investors now face the "investment challenge" of being realistic about their needs and return expectations in the current environment of low yields.
1) Population aging is a global trend, with the number of people over 60 expected to triple between 1950 and 2050. This puts increasing strain on economies and individuals to cover rising old-age costs.
2) Micro pensions can help address this issue by providing security against old-age poverty. They allow informal workers to save for retirement. Microfinance institutions are well positioned to develop micro pension products.
3) Challenges include collecting contributions safely, investing funds productively, and paying reliable benefits. Different pension models like defined benefit or contribution could be used. The Pension & Development Network helps microfinance institutions design and implement micro pension schemes.

This document provides the individual marginal tax rates for salary income in 2014 for each Canadian province. It notes that the rates include federal and provincial taxes but not provincial health premiums. The rates shown apply to individuals with salary income in the middle of the tax brackets. Higher rates may apply for income exceeding certain thresholds in some provinces. The document also notes that small provincial taxes may apply in Manitoba and PEI for salary income just above $10,500 and that Ontario proposed new tax brackets and rates in their 2014 budget.
The document provides a table showing the combined top marginal tax rates for individuals in Canada for 2014.

This document provides information about tax considerations for Canadian snowbirds traveling to the United States. It discusses how snowbirds can be considered non-resident aliens or resident aliens by the IRS depending on their length of stay and ties to the US. It notes that both Canada and the US tax worldwide income based on residency, so snowbirds need to be careful not to be deemed residents of both countries. The document also outlines the substantial presence test and closer connection exemption that determine residency status, and lists various social, economic, and personal ties that are considered for the closer connection test. Finally, it discusses the US estate tax implications for non-residents based on their US situs property holdings.
The document summarizes how corporately-held life insurance can be used as a tax minimization tool for the estate of a shareholder. It provides examples of how deemed dispositions at death can trigger capital gains taxes, and how life insurance death benefits credited to the corporation's capital dividend account can fund tax-free distributions to the estate to avoid double taxation. Specifically, it compares different post-mortem planning strategies, finding that using an insured redemption where some dividends are taxable and some capital preserves half the capital dividend account and results in the lowest total taxes.
Things you may need to know about your parents, before it's too late. Having the talk with aging parents can often be difficult, however, not having the talk, will likely prove to be much more difficult, later! This information will help you guard against some of the estate pitfalls that are about to hit the baby-boomers.
The principal residence exemption allows homeowners to exempt some or all capital gains realized from the sale of a principal residence from taxation, providing significant tax savings. However, if two homes are owned during the same period that could qualify as a principal residence, at least some of the gains on one home will be taxable. When selling the first home, homeowners must decide whether to designate it as their principal residence to exempt future gains on the second home, or pay taxes now to fully exempt gains on the second home later. The example demonstrates this choice between paying taxes on one home's sale now or the other home's sale later.
The pension jurisdiction of a locked-in account determines the options available, such as retirement income choices, beneficiary designations, and access rules. Jurisdiction is based on where the pension plan is registered or where the individual last worked. Jurisdiction affects when accounts can be transferred, income options like annuities or funds, and whether accounts can be unlocked in certain situations. Knowing an account's jurisdiction is important for understanding how it can be used and managed.
1) Foreign pension plans can potentially be transferred to a Canadian RRSP, allowing the pension income to be tax deferred in Canada. However, several issues must be considered regarding the rules and tax implications in both Canada and the original country.
2) It needs to be determined if the foreign pension plan is transferable under the rules of the original country. The tax consequences of transferring or keeping the plan in the original country also require examination.
3) Upon transfer to Canada, any foreign tax paid may be eligible for foreign tax credits to offset Canadian tax owing on the pension income. But the specific tax rules between Canada and the original country must be understood to determine the full tax impact. Independent tax and legal advice is
The document provides information about succession planning for a family cottage. It discusses the tax liability that may arise when passing a cottage to the next generation upon death. It recommends planning ahead to minimize taxes, such as designating the cottage as a principal residence or tracking capital improvements to increase the adjusted cost base. Handling ownership transfers during life or planning for multiple owners also requires consideration of tax and family relationship issues to preserve the cottage for future generations.

It aims to give executors a comprehensive understanding of their responsibilities.
1) A tax-planned will that creates a testamentary trust can help reduce taxes for surviving spouses and children compared to leaving assets directly to beneficiaries.
2) By establishing a testamentary trust, assets can be income split between the trust and beneficiaries, taking advantage of each of their individual tax brackets and credits to lower their overall tax burden.
3) Common candidates for a tax-planned will include those with wealth in non-registered assets like real estate, stocks, bonds and private corporations, as well as life insurance proceeds. Planning is especially beneficial for high income or high net worth individuals.

An Individual Pension Plan (IPP) is a defined benefit pension plan that offers higher tax-deductible contributions and accelerated tax-deferred growth compared to a RRSP. It provides a guaranteed lifetime retirement income based on a formula of the member's age, salary, and years of service. Key advantages include guaranteed pension benefits, potential for higher contributions, ability to make past service contributions, and creditor protection. However, it also has disadvantages like reduced RRSP limits, inability to access funds before retirement, and higher setup and administration costs than other plans. An IPP may be suitable for business owners, executives, or employers seeking enhanced retirement benefits for key employees.
1) Understanding your employer-sponsored pension plan is important to avoid surprises in retirement. The two main types are defined benefit (DB) plans that guarantee a specific pension amount, and defined contribution (DC) plans where the pension depends on accumulated contributions and investment returns.
2) When you join a plan, you will need to provide personal details and make decisions about contributions and investments. Leaving an employer requires deciding what to do with your pension benefits, such as transferring funds to a locked-in retirement account.
3) In retirement, your pension options will depend on the type of plan and could include receiving income directly from the plan or transferring funds to purchase an annuity. When and how you receive your
1) Government pension plans like the Canada Pension Plan (CPP) and Quebec Pension Plan (QPP) provide retirement benefits that individuals are entitled to if they have lived and contributed in Canada. Benefits can begin between ages 60-70, with reductions for early receipt and increases for delayed receipt.
2) Registered Retirement Savings Plans (RRSPs) allow individuals to shelter retirement savings from taxes. At retirement, RRSPs must be converted to a Registered Retirement Income Fund (RRIF) or other income-generating options like annuities or cash.
3) Retirement income options involve balancing tax implications, longevity risks, and income needs over a potentially long retirement. Professional

"Does Foreign Direct Investment Negatively Affect Preservation of Culture in the Global South? Case Studies in Thailand and Cambodia."
Do elements of globalization, such as Foreign Direct Investment (FDI), negatively affect the ability of countries in the Global South to preserve their culture? This research aims to answer this question by employing a cross-sectional comparative case study analysis utilizing methods of difference. Thailand and Cambodia are compared as they are in the same region and have a similar culture. The metric of difference between Thailand and Cambodia is their ability to preserve their culture. This ability is operationalized by their respective attitudes towards FDI; Thailand imposes stringent regulations and limitations on FDI while Cambodia does not hesitate to accept most FDI and imposes fewer limitations. The evidence from this study suggests that FDI from globally influential countries with high gross domestic products (GDPs) (e.g. China, U.S.) challenges the ability of countries with lower GDPs (e.g. Cambodia) to protect their culture. Furthermore, the ability, or lack thereof, of the receiving countries to protect their culture is amplified by the existence and implementation of restrictive FDI policies imposed by their governments.
My study abroad in Bali, Indonesia, inspired this research topic as I noticed how globalization is changing the culture of its people. I learned their language and way of life which helped me understand the beauty and importance of cultural preservation. I believe we could all benefit from learning new perspectives as they could help us ideate solutions to contemporary issues and empathize with others.
