遺產規劃是把自己的一切事宜安排妥當，從而在您身故後，財產得以保存，並按照您的意願分配。 遺產規劃並非在您身故後由他人宣讀的文件。它是在目前為您提供協助的一個過程。 如果做得妥當，它可助您和家人對未來更有信心。
我應該何時進行遺產規劃？ 現在可能是好時機。 因為： •您已經有財產。如果您擁有任何積蓄、人壽保險、投資、房地產或其他資產，您就是擁有財產。您的遺產包括您擁有的一切，無論是財務資產和非財務資產。 •假如您身故，而沒有遺產計劃，您的遺產未必得以妥善保存並按照您的意願分配。此外，假如您等到最後一刻，例如旅遊或手術前 才制定遺產計劃，有可能因時間緊迫而要倉促作出決定。 因此，事不宜遲，立刻行動。 其實遺產規劃並不繁複。您也不是孤立無援，您的顧問、律師、 公證人、稅務顧問或會計師都能助您制定計劃。
如果您不做任何規劃，就應該訂立遺囑 您的遺囑是在您身故後按照您意願分配遺產的法律文件，具有約束力。它僅是遺產規劃的一部份，但卻是最重要的部份。 如果您身故而並沒有立遺囑，您的遺產將會根據適用於該省的法例來分配。這些法例未必與您的意願相符，也可能隨時修改和變動。因此，書面訂立遺囑，清晰表明您的意願非常重要。

Registered education savings plans (RESPs) offer an effective, tax-free way to maximize the money available to your children or grandchildren when they enrol in a full-time post-secondary program. Parents, grandparents, other family members and friends can open an RESP for a child. As the cost of post-secondary education continues to rise, it’s becoming even more important to start saving early for their future education.
With a tax-free savings account (TFSA), you don’t pay tax on any money earned or withdrawn. You can contribute to a TFSA at any time, and your unused contribution room is carried forward each year. Use these savings for education, a down payment on a home or other large expenses.
Registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) are still one of the most popular ways to save for your retirement. Contributions are tax-deductible and taxes are deferred until you withdraw your money.
What would happen if you suffered a significant health event or died? Having life, critical illness or disability insurance can help you, or those you choose, to manage your expenses.

Critical illness insurance allows you to focus on your recovery knowing you have the money to help with your expenses if you're diagnosed with a serious illness. You’ll get a one-time, tax-free payment you can use for whatever you need. Through your coverage, you can also connect with healthcare specialists.
Disability insurance works when you can’t. It can give you tax-free monthly income to help pay expenses if an illness or accident stops you from working. Not all disabilities are so easily recognized. Chronic pain or a mental health issue can also qualify as a disability.
Segregated funds invest in a variety of stocks and bonds. They’re different than mutual funds. They offer unique protection features that are only available through insurance companies. They’re a great way to save for your retirement and investment goals.
What will happen when you die? I’ll go through some important considerations with you – like the expenses involved, charitable giving and what you want for your family.

As Canadians, we’re fortunate to have public healthcare coverage – but that doesn’t mean your provincial healthcare plan provides all the coverage you need. Health and dental insurance can help pay for prescription drugs, dental, hospital, vision, paramedical and ambulance services. Coverage is similar to a group benefits plan that an employer may offer and is a great option if you’re retiring, self-employed or not eligible for group benefits.
Registered retirement savings plans (RRSPs) are still one of the most popular ways to save for your retirement. Contributions are tax deductible and taxes are deferred until you withdraw your money.
