Shabhana and Ravi are 58 and 67 years old respectively and
have been married for 35 years. They have a condo in the city
,and a cottage by a lake, both jointly held. They have only one
child, Sachin, who is 32 years old and will eventually inherit their
entire estate. The cottage's value has gone up substantially
since they purchased it. Shabhana and Ravi want to obtain life
insurance so that Ravi has a lump sum available when capital
gains taxes become payable on the cottage. Which of the
following life insurance policies would be most suitable in their
situation?
A. A joint life first-to-die policy.
B. A separate policy on Ravi's life and on Shabhana's life.
C. A policy on Shabhana's life only.
D. A joint life last-to-die policy. - ANSWER-D. A joint life last-to-
die policy.
General Feedback:
The tax liability will arise on the second death and therefore a
joint life last-to-die policy will be ideal in their situation. A
separate policy on their individual lives would be more
expensive. Reference: Module 3, Section 5.
Gareth dies leaving a small estate of $25,000 in savings
accounts to his wife Margot. What is the most cost-effective

to use to obtain the funds?
,A. Letters Probate.
B. Affidavit of Execution of the Will.
C. Affidavit of Value of the Estate.
D. Letter of Indemnity. - ANSWER-D. Letter of Indemnity.
General Feedback:
If the amounts involved are relatively small, under $30,000 for

of indemnity or a probate bond from the executor in lieu of
Letters Probate. This avoids the cost of probate for the estate.

the validity of the will.

D. Affidavit of Execution. - ANSWER-D. Affidavit of Execution.

the validity of the will, especially in cases where the witnesses
might be difficult to locate at a much later date when the testator
dies. Reference: Module 3, Section 5.
