O'NEILL TODAY
WINTER 2014 |
Dear Clients and Friends,
Now that December is here, it's time to pull out the toques and scarves and keep warm with lots of hot cocoa. Best of all, it means that all the NHL teams are back in action - very exciting! The Big Board (Dow, TSX) markets continue to perform well - after a bit of a late summer shake up - while the junior resource sector still can't seem to find its footing. Hopefully, we will see that rebound as well next year! This is always a good time of year to give thanks and we thank all of you for your continued support of Thomas O'Neill & Associates. We are so very privileged to work on your behalf and appreciate the opportunities you have given us over the years. Once again, we are conducting a drive for the Greater Vancouver Food Bank society and encourage you to join us in giving to this or your favourite charity. We hope you enjoy the remainder of 2014 and wish you and your family all the best for the holidays as well as a prosperous and healthy New Year! Cheers, |

Talking to Parents about Money
Have you had "the talk" with your parents yet? How much do you know about your parents' financial situation? The first step to breaking the ice is having a casual conversation.

While it can be difficult to get a full understanding of your parents' finances and situation, proper planning and advice can help with the avoidance of probate fees and excessive paperwork. The probate process can be grueling and tedious and, in addition, the probate fees can be as high as 2.5%. The more you know about your parents' financial situation, the better you will be able to help them as they age gracefully into the future. The attached article provides some helpful tips on how to go about talking to your parents about their financial situation.
