A hot housing market and a change in use equals tax with no cash. But there is a solution.
Most Canadians know that selling their home normally will not result in income tax thanks to the principal residence exemption (PRE). Unfortunately, people tend to extend this "knowledge" into a feeling that they need never worry about tax when dealing with their principal residence.

Farm succession: sharing the land in partnership
A growing number of farm clients come to my office to discuss succession planning. In many cases, there is a single farming child that has stayed behind to help run the operation, and this child will be the successor. Often, there are other children in the family who have left the farm and have blazed their own paths in life.

Tax-deferred capital distributions from discretionary family trusts
Discretionary family trusts are used extensively for tax, family and succession planning, as they afford enormous flexibility.

Once a trust is settled, it will exist until all the assets are distributed to the beneficiaries and the trust is wound up.
