Gifts of RRSPs and RRIFs
RRSPs and RRIFs are among the most highly taxed assets in your Estate. At your death, they are treated as if they had been cashed in all at once. After taxes, your beneficiaries may be left with as little as 50% of the total.
Making charitable gifts preserves the capital in these plans. Because you are making a charitable gift of the plan, 100% of the money goes to the charity.

SEEK FINANCIAL AND LEGAL ADVICE
We strongly recommend you seek professional advice to ensure your financial goals are considered, your tax situation is reviewed, and your planned gift is tailored to your circumstances.
