For many families, the cottage is no longer just a recreational
property. It’s a significant family balance sheet asset with
core long-term tax, liquidity, and emotional implications.
The question advisors are increasingly facing is simple: Should
the cottage be transferred during lifetime, or at death?
After decades of appreciation and evolving tax awareness, more
families are reconsidering when and how to move secondary
properties to the next generation.
That’s why we’re inviting you to join us for Cottage

Transfer.
