Estate tax and wealth transfer planning · Markham, Ontario
Your estate will owe tax. The question is who pays it, and with what.
You built a business, a portfolio, maybe a cottage or a rental property. At death, Canada taxes it as if it were sold. We show you the number, then make sure your family is not the one forced to sell.

Free tool: Executor Emergency Kit
Own a business? Most owners need both. We plan the corporation and the family as one estate.
Illustrative only. 2026 top Ontario tax rates. The family example assumes no other income in the year of death. Ontario estate administration tax is extra on assets that pass through the will.
The real problem
Not whether you pay tax. How much, when, and from where.
The tax bill at death is real money, due within months. The wealth that triggers it is locked in shares, property and registered accounts. That gap between the bill and the cash is what we close.
When the cash is not there, families pay for it three ways:
A forced sale
The business, the cottage or the rental property goes at whatever price a quick sale brings, not what it is worth.
Emergency borrowing
Heirs take on debt to pay the government, during the hardest months of their lives.
Savings drained
Money set aside for the next generation pays a bill that could have been planned and funded in advance.

Meet Sami
I diagnose before I prescribe.
Most people are sold a policy before anyone has calculated what their estate will owe. I start with the number. Then I work with your accountant and lawyer so the plan holds up in practice, not just on paper.
Eagle Wealth Partners is based in Markham and serves families and business owners across Ontario, in person and online. I work with clients in English, French and Arabic.

A direct conversation with Sami. The call and your preliminary estate tax estimate are both complimentary. No forms, no obligation, no pitch at the end. You leave knowing whether there is a gap worth fixing.
