    • Retirement Plans
    • While retirement is a time to enjoy all the things you’ve worked so hard for, some people can feel overwhelmed by the stresses of ensuring you don’t outlive your savings.  We can help you answer:

    • Estate Plans
    • You’ve spent a lifetime building a legacy that you would like to leave to your beneficiaries.  Having an efficient, secure and timely way to complete that is a key part of financial planning.  Working with us gives you the ability to: 
    1. Choose who receives your money when you pass away 
    2. Have the transaction happen, outside of the estate, so the entire process is kept private 
    3. Avoid paying estate administration costs, allowing more money to go to your beneficiaries. 
    4. Offset capital gains and income taxes due upon death 
    5. Protect your investments  with Death benefit guarantees 
    6. Set up a request to settle that restricts your beneficiaries from getting their money to early in life and sets up a long term investment plan for your beneficiaries upon your death. 
    • Career transition/ Pension Transfer Plans
    • At Slater Wealth Management we can help you through your transfer options if you are changing employers or retiring from the work force and provide you a recommendation on what your best option will be.  

    If you are changing jobs and are part of a vested registered pension plan you will likely receive a few options as to what to do with your pension.   

    • If you are in a defined benefit plan,  One of your options will likely be to commute the value of the pension plan to a LIRA or LIF.  If you wish to select that option, you must carefully assess the advantages and disadvantages to ensure this is the correct decision. There are guarantees associated with a defined benefit pension that could be attached to health benefits, that must be carefully reviewed.  We can provide you a recommendation and a comparison of leaving your pension plan or transferring it to your own investment accounts.   
    • If you are in a defined contribution plan, One of your options will be to transfer the value of the pension to a LIRA or a LIF. A defined contribution plan does not have any guarantees. So a major consideration if choosing this option will be consolidating your assets in one place and comparing investment options for the best possible outcome given your time horizon and risk tolerance.   
    • If you move your employer pension to a Locked in account, (LIRA) when you convert it to LIF to start an income stream in retirement, you should be able to unlock 50% of the value at that time with in 60 days and rollover to you RRSP or RRIF without tax consequences. The amount remaining will be subject to annual maximums legislated at the time of withdrawal;
