Are there ways to transfer the wealth of my company to my spouse and children without a tax consequence?

There are certain procedures available that allow the transfer of various types of property on a tax defered basis. For example, the Income Tax Act (of Canada) allows an individual to “roll” certain types of property to a spouse in certain circumstances. There is also a method of transferring the possible future wealth of a corporation to another individual (commonly referred to as an “estate freeze”) without incurring tax consequences. It is suggested that an individual contact a tax specialist in order to review the various options that may be available in their own circumstances.
