Retirement Planning for Business Owners in Ontario
Planning tools for the money side of retirement, written with business owners in mind — kept in the same Vault as your will.
What business owners should know
- When most of your wealth sits in the business, the personal side of retirement is easy to leave until last.
- Run a retirement projection on your personal savings and monthly contributions.
- Set savings goals with a target date and see whether you are on track.
- Check whether your life and disability cover would carry your family if the business could not.
- How an old will stops counting in Ontario: You may revoke a will or part of a will only by making a new valid will, making a valid written revocation, or intentionally burning, tearing, or otherwise destroying it yourself or having someone do so in your presence and at your direction. A revoked will is revived only by a valid will, a valid codicil showing intent to revive, or re-execution with required formalities. Source: Succession Law Reform Act, R.S.O. 1990, c. S.26, ss. 15, 17(1), 19, 21, 21.1(1).
