When Mohamed, a 75-year-old Ontario real estate investor, discovered his estate could face a $12 million tax bill upon his death, he feared her children would be forced to liquidate $24 million in assets just to cover the taxes. 

Instead, he used a sophisticated life insurance strategy—funding a $12 million policy through annual premiums and leveraging it to reinvest—allowing him to protect his portfolio, avoid probate, and preserve his legacy.

Bill, a 55-year-old real estate investor facing serious health challenges, was concerned his $4.5 million estate might not reach his children, especially since they were minors and he was in a second relationship.

Without a clear plan, taxes and inheritance laws could derail his wishes.

By structuring his estate through a corporation and a trust—with his children as beneficiaries and his brother as trustee—Bill created a plan that protected his assets, bypassed probate, and gave him peace of mind.

When Daniel, a 65-year-old entrepreneur with $12 million in real estate, began thinking about succession, he faced a serious challenge.

How would he pass on his business and property to his children without burdening his wife or triggering a massive tax bill?

Through a smart combination of trust planning and life insurance, Daniel locked in today’s property values to reduce future taxes. And he used insurance to ensure his family wouldn’t have to sell assets to pay the CRA.

James, a high-net-worth real estate investor in his 50s, was worried about the tax burden his estate would face.

But his long-term plan to sell and reinvest meant a trust didn’t make sense. 

Instead, he used a permanent life insurance strategy that not only covered future taxes but also allowed him to borrow against the policy and reinvest in new properties. 

The result? James kept growing his portfolio while protecting his estate from double taxation.

Deepak, a 57-year-old real estate investor, was determined to ensure his $7 million property portfolio went directly to his two young children—not his spouse—after his passing. 

Worried that future changes could derail his wishes, he turned to a strategy that combined a trust and life insurance. 

The trust safeguarded the properties for his children, while the insurance covered the tax bill, preventing a forced sale.
