NEW QUESTION # 17
Xavier is a high-net-worth client in the highest tax bracket. He has maximized his child's registered education savings plan, and is interested in setting up an informal trust account to supplement his child's education savings. What is the most appropriate investment vehicle for this account to minimize taxes for Xavier?
Answer: B
Explanation:
A capital-gains-oriented equity portfolio is the most tax-efficient choice among the alternatives because of the Canadian attribution rules applying to property transferred to a related minor.
Where a parent transfers money or other property directly or indirectly to a minor child, including through a trust in which the minor is beneficially interested, income from the transferred property, such as interest and dividends, is generally attributed back to the transferor. The transferor therefore reports that income at his or her own marginal tax rate. CRA's trust guidance expressly recognizes this attribution treatment for property transferred for a related minor.
Capital gains are treated differently under the ordinary minor-child attribution rule. CRA's longstanding interpretation confirms that subsection 74.1(2) does not generally attribute a subsequent capital gain on transferred property back to the transferor.
A GIC or Government of Canada bond primarily produces interest, while mature dividend-paying stocks generate dividends; both would tend to create attributed investment income for Xavier. An equity mutual fund emphasizing capital appreciation minimizes current income distributions and places more of the return in capital gains.

NEW QUESTION # 18
Jo and Jordan have recently married. This is their second marriage, and they are planning to buy a cottage together. Their primary concern is leaving each of their interest to their respective children from their previous marriages. Which tenancy structure is their real estate lawyer likely to recommend?
Answer: B
Explanation:
Jo and Jordan should generally hold the cottage as tenants in common because each wants his or her ownership interest ultimately to pass to the respective children from a previous marriage.
Under a tenancy in common, each co-owner holds a distinct undivided interest in the property. That interest forms part of the owner's estate at death and can therefore be transferred under a will to designated beneficiaries. The ownership percentages can also be equal or unequal depending on how the acquisition is structured.
A joint tenancy produces a fundamentally different estate-planning consequence because it normally carries a right of survivorship. When one joint tenant dies, the deceased owner's interest ordinarily passes automatically to the surviving joint tenant rather than through the deceased's estate. That structure could frustrate Jo and Jordan's objective because the surviving spouse could ultimately obtain the entire cottage, leaving the deceased spouse's children without the intended property interest.
"Freehold" and "fee simple" describe forms or quality of ownership rather than the appropriate co-ownership arrangement between the spouses.
Therefore, tenancy in common provides the control and testamentary flexibility required in this blended- family situation.

NEW QUESTION # 19
The following table outlines details for a life insurance policy issued in 1995:
Details
Amounts
Cash surrender value
$8,000
Premiums paid
$6,000
Dividends declared
$1,500
Net cost of pure insurance
$750
Marginal tax rate
30%
Assuming the policy is completely surrendered, what are the taxes payable?
Answer: C
Explanation:
The taxable policy gain is determined by comparing the policy's surrender proceeds with its adjusted cost basis (ACB).
For this policy, the simplified ACB calculation is:
Premiums paid # policy dividends # net cost of pure insurance
Therefore:
$6,000 # $1,500 # $750 = $3,750 ACB
CRA guidance confirms that the ACB of a life insurance policy is increased principally by premiums and reduced by specified amounts including the net cost of pure insurance; policy dividends to which the policyholder becomes entitled also reduce the ACB.
The policy gain on surrender is therefore:
$8,000 cash surrender value # $3,750 ACB = $4,250 taxable policy gain
Apply the 30% marginal tax rate:
$4,250 ร 30% = $1,275
Therefore, option C is correct.
The $4,250 amount itself is not the tax payable; it is the amount included in taxable income under the simplified calculation. Applying the client's marginal tax rate determines the resulting tax liability.
FPII reference/topic: Insurance Planning - permanent life insurance; cash surrender; adjusted cost basis; net cost of pure insurance; policy gains.
NEW QUESTION # 20
How long does an executor have to make a spousal Registered Retirement Savings Plan contribution on behalf of a deceased person?
Answer: B
Explanation:
A deceased person's legal representative cannot make a contribution to the deceased individual's own RRSP after death. However, a special rule permits the legal representative to contribute to a surviving spouse's or common-law partner's RRSP using the deceased person's available RRSP deduction room.
CRA confirms that this contribution may be made during the calendar year of death or within the first 60 days after the end of that year. The qualifying amount may then be deducted on the deceased individual's final income tax return, subject to the deceased person's available RRSP deduction limit.
For example, if an individual dies in July and has unused RRSP room, the executor does not have only 60 days from July. The relevant deadline extends through the year of death and into the first 60 days of the following calendar year.
Option A therefore applies the 60-day period from the wrong starting point. Option B ends the contribution period too early, while option D substitutes an arbitrary six-month period that is not the RRSP rule.
The strategy can be valuable because it creates a final deduction while simultaneously increasing tax-deferred retirement savings for the surviving spouse.

NEW QUESTION # 21
Kimberly, age 24, has few assets, and is single with no children. Kimberly has a 10-year-old niece Tanya who she would like her entire estate to be distributed to at death. She consults with her lawyer Jackie to write a will. What is the most important clause Jackie should add in Kimberly's will?
Answer: C
Explanation:
A discretionary encroachment clause is particularly important because Tanya is only 10 years old and may inherit Kimberly's estate while still a minor. Rather than requiring the estate property simply to remain untouched until Tanya reaches the stipulated distribution age, an encroachment provision permits the trustee to use trust capital for Tanya's benefit when appropriate.
The clause can authorize payments for matters such as education, health care, maintenance, accommodation, and general welfare. Estate-planning guidance concerning trusts for minors commonly provides trustees with authority to encroach upon income and capital for the minor's benefit before final distribution.
Option B is not the appropriate solution because Kimberly is Tanya's aunt. A will-maker's nomination of a guardian generally concerns the will-maker's own minor children and does not allow an aunt simply to replace the legal decision-making authority of Tanya's parents.
Trustee investment and administrative powers in option A are useful provisions, but they do not specifically address the beneficiary's need to access inheritance funds during minority. Funeral and debt-payment provisions likewise do not solve that central issue.
The discretionary encroachment clause therefore gives the estate trustee the flexibility necessary to provide appropriately for Tanya before she reaches the age for outright distribution.
