Why Successful Founders Freeze Their Estates
It is the most powerful tool in Canadian corporate tax planning for multi-generational wealth transfer.
Cap the Death Tax
Canada taxes you on the full value of your assets when you die (deemed disposition). If your $2M company grows to $10M, your estate owes tax on $10M. A freeze caps your liability at $2M.
Multiply the LCGE
By issuing the new growth shares to a Family Trust, you can multiply the $1.25M Lifetime Capital Gains Exemption across your children, potentially saving millions in tax when the business is eventually sold.
Retain Absolute Control
You exchange your common shares for fixed-value preferred shares that carry voting rights. Your children get the financial growth, but you keep the steering wheel.
