Unbeknownst to you, however, is that lurking under the surface of your idyllic retreat may be a host of tax and estate planning issues that, if not tackled early on, could not only cost you (or your heirs) a lot of cash but, in extreme cases, could force the sale of the recreational property that may have been in your family for generations. With some professional advice and some advance planning, however, you may be able to mitigate some of these potential problems.

Your U.S. vacation property could be quite taxing
Many Canadians own vacation properties in foreign countries, such as the U.S. Though your vacation property may be located beyond Canada's borders, that doesn't mean that it's outside the reach of the tax authorities.

With proper planning, however, you can minimize the impact of taxes on your vacation home so that you can enjoy it for years to come.

Why TFSAs may beat RRSPs as better retirement savings
Blinded by the “refund”: Why TFSAs may beat RRSPs as better retirement savings vehicles for some Canadians. A Tax Free Savings Account (TFSA) can be a powerful retirement savings tool, yet some individuals may be reluctant to use it.
