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?
