We will have experts providing an insider’s look into DAFs, and how to review and assess their attributes. We believe that this event will be an excellent opportunity for you to gain new insights, connect with other professionals in the industry, and enhance your knowledge on this important topic.

Considering how much of a client’s financial resources may be committed to their charitable interests,  there is an important role for estate professionals to understand and assist clients.  Donor advised funds (DAFs) are one example of a charitable vehicle that is often assumed to be “one-size fits all” and rather monochromatic.   

In fact, DAFs vary widely, and important elements like who is able to make decisions about how much and to what organizations sometimes come as a surprise both to clients and their survivors.  

Advisors from all disciplines can join us for an insider’s look at DAFs and how to review and assess DAF attributes.

Meet fellow members from across Canada and join our lively forum!  We will do round table discussion on what's new and nudging clients towards broader planning and estate planning. One hour.

Kurt and Allison will be examining options for intergenerational farm transfer with a focus on the income tax implications. They will cover the general rules that apply, including the distinction between "good" and "bad" assets, the use of the Capital Gains Exemption, and the general rules governing the transfer of farm partnerships. Additionally, they will discuss some common pitfalls to avoid.

A significant portion of their presentation will be devoted to discussing the impact of the "Bill C-208" rules on farm families. They will provide an overview of the history of these rules, how they currently apply in 2023, and the changes that are set to take effect in 2024. They will highlight the advantages of using these rules and provide information on the restrictions that will be imposed based on the 2023 Federal Budget.
