Family Trust Services
We can help you determine if setting up an inter-vivos family trust is the right option for you. We can also prepare financial statements, T3 trust tax returns, and the accompanying T3 slips for income allocations.
T3 Graduated Rate Estate Tax Returns
In most cases, additional returns are required to be filed after the death of the individuals, particularly when there are assets that are disposed of after the date of death. We can ensure that all required returns and information is reported correctly and accurately for the first 36 months after the date of death.
Final T1 Personal Tax Returns
The preparation of the final T1 personal tax return has many additional rules and considerations compared to a normal T1 return. We can ensure that the return is prepared correctly and accurately to ensure no tax liability for the executors of the estate.
CRA Clearance Certificate Requests
To relieve the executors of the tax liability for the estate, once all returns have been filed and assessed by the Canada Revenue Agency, the final step is to make a request for clearance certificates.
