Last month, Suzanne purchased a life insurance policy from a local agent. The agent told her that the policy would accrue a cash value that she could draw from in her retirement years and that the premium would never increase. After recently meeting with a close friend, who is a retired insurance advisor, she was dismayed to learn that what was sold to her is in fact a term policy with no cash value. If Suzanne wishes to make a formal complaint against the agent, which authority can assist her in doing so?
Larissa is a 65-year-old retired marketing executive. She is single and has no dependents. Larissa accepted a generous retirement package from her employer five years ago and used her early retirement cash bonus to consolidate her financial affairs. She paid off mortgages on both her principal residence (a condo) and her vacation cottage. The fair market value (FMV) of the real estate increased significantly over the years. She named her sister Natalya as the sole beneficiary of her estate. In addition to the two properties, Larissa's estate includes a registered retirement savings plan (RRSP) and shares of Apple Inc. that she purchased in her tax-free savings account (TFSA) 10 years ago. If Larissa were to pass away today, which of her assets would be fully taxable on her final income tax return?
