Cottages occupy a special place in the hearts of many Canadians. They’re usually associated with happy childhood memories, family gatherings, and for many they hold a strong sentimental value.
Therefore, cottage owners typically look for solutions to preserve their cottages, to ensure continued enjoyment by future generations.
The discussion around how to efficiently transfer the ownership of a cottage or vacation property is ongoing, and it can feel overwhelming for some.
This is because there are several issues to consider when thinking about cottage succession planning – however, the most important touch points are:

3. Future Ownership Options for Cottage Succession
