Intergenerational Wealth Transfer

Wealth transfer is about helping your wealth move with intention. It may involve supporting adult children while you are alive, preparing an inheritance, reducing tax, planning for a surviving spouse or creating clarity for future decision-makers. Gee Gibson & Associates helps families in the Comox Valley, across Vancouver Island and throughout British Columbia build practical wealth transfer strategies.
 

 

We also understand that although open family conversations about finances can be difficult, they can also enhance your family’s future financial well-being and relationships. (In some families, conversations about money never take place. As a result, beneficiaries are often unaware of their future financial situation until after a parent’s passing.) Our team can help you have a relaxed and constructive family discussion about shared values and goals that will clarify everyone’s needs and improve family communication.

In a relaxed conversation, we will address topics including:

  • Inheritance
  • Taking care of loved ones
  • Legacy
  • Wills and wishes
  • Business succession/transition planning

We invite you to speak with us today about creating a customized tax-efficient strategy to transfer your wealth in a way that reflects your wishes.

Transferring Wealth With Purpose

You may want to pass wealth to the next generation, but you're unsure how much to give, when to give it or how to protect your own retirement first.

We help you consider:

  • How much you can afford to give
  • Whether gifts should happen now or later
  • How family support may affect retirement income
  • What tax issues should be reviewed
  • How to prepare adult children for future responsibility

Helping Family During Your Lifetime

You may want to help your children or grandchildren while you're still here to see the impact. This may include support for a home purchase, education, business goals or other major life needs.

A thoughtful plan helps ensure generosity does not weaken your own income, care needs or long-term security.

Connecting Wealth Transfer And Estate Planning

Wealth transfer strategies should be closely connected to estate planning. Beneficiaries, executors, powers of attorney, insurance, charitable giving and tax planning all play a role.

We help you look at how these decisions fit together, so your wealth can move with fewer surprises.

Reducing Tax Pressure

Tax can affect how much wealth ultimately reaches your family. Planning ahead may help reduce unnecessary tax and create a more efficient transfer.

This may involve reviewing registered accounts, non-registered investments, capital gains, insurance, charitable giving and gifts during life.

Preparing The Next Generation

Receiving wealth can be a responsibility. Adult children may need to understand the plan, their future roles and how to make good decisions with inherited money.

We help families think through how and when to involve the next generation in planning conversations.

Planning For The Surviving Spouse

Wealth transfer planning should also consider what happens when one spouse passes away. Income, taxes, accounts and estate plans may change, and the surviving spouse may need support and structure.

Start The Conversation

Wealth transfer is most effective when it’s planned before decisions become urgent. Book a meeting with Gee Gibson & Associates to discuss how your wealth can support your life, your family and the legacy you want to leave.
